can I set a power-on delay for BL25p/BL45p?

[AccuMegalith]

We have an issue with some of our BL25p and BL45p servers coming up and attempting to start their windows services before our domain controller is online.

Can we set a power-on delay for either of these Blade server models? I've found several HP documents and forum postings which explain how to do it for generic Proliant servers, but the relevant settings aren't in the BIOS or ILO on our servers.

These servers have RBSU 2.10, BIOS A02 3/21/2006, and ILO 1.82 8/22/05. Is there an update which will enable these settings?

update:
I flashed the BIOS to the latest (2007.02.14B) and ILO firmware to the latest (1.92) and there are still no settings for power-on delay.

I know the blade enclosure has its own power on sequencing. Is this the reason that the individual blades don't have settings?

Hi,

blades are little different.
For ilo1 the option is not even mentioned in the user guide.
For iLO2 states :

"Blade servers are governed by the rack infrastructure and do not support a power-on delay"

So you are right, unfortunately the enclosure rules it

Hi I have a customer with 8 X bl25p and only one blade power on (Slot 1) the another 7 have a red led and standby led on, I do every thing, I installed a ILO2 Update 2.40, MP to 1.94 and PM to 2.30 but nothing happen, I don´t believe that all 7 bl have a hardware problems, The error Log´s don´t have any error.....Some body nose about this.

Thanks a lot in advance.
