Blade server ILO extremely slow to respond

[Alan Casey]

server BL860c
Integrity ILO 2
Firmware version 3.06

I am trying to get a remote console to this server but the ILO access is ectremely slow taking 10-20 mins to go throuogh each screen.
No errors coming up.

First I would check for correct address settings, e.g. mask and gateway, and for duplicated addresses.

Alan,

do you mean the response in the CLI (Telnet session) is slow or are you talking about the browser based access via http to the iLO/MP ?


Did you tried to reset the iLO or eventually upgrade to a later version of the firmware (which will also reset the iLO in the end)?
Same goes for the OA, if the iLO reset does not help, a OA reset might clear up this issue, assuming you have this slow response from more then one pc/workstation in your network.

This is the last public available sysfw version for the bl860c blade :

This is however a offline upgrade that does more then just the iLO f/w, it's a bundle that does the serverblade systemfw and iLO fw.
