I have just upgraded the firmware on all over BL460c services and the Onboard Administrators
One server now displays a predictive failure against the following category:
hpoa:devicePicFwVersion
This is the only server with this device showing.
Cna anyone tell me what this means. My suspicion is there is a problem with the power Management Firmware on the blade - which was not patched.
Firmware revisions are:
OA - 2.51
ROM I15 05/12/2009
ILO2 - 1.78 Jun 10 2009
Can anyone help telling me what the problem is?
Regards
Andrew Young

Re: Unusual Predictive Failure
Checking the blade status (in OA) I see the following message.
"The power management controller firmware on this blade must be upgraded. Please see customer advisory c01668472."
It is now in the hands of the Proliant Admin.

SolutionI powered down the Blade, reseated it, pwoered it up and error didn't come back.
When the Blade had this error, I could not iLO into it. I could power it down and up, via iLO, but that was all.

Re: Unusual Predictive Failure
You usually get a yellow/orange warning triangle if the BIOS and/or Powerfirmware need updating.
You need to match the firmware - the usual place
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class.html
And click on compatability
See...
V3.4(B)
Note: iLOv1.78 must be updated before updating V3.4(B) of the Power Management Controller

Re: Unusual Predictive Failure
We downloaded the CP010988.exe and CP010989.scexe patches:
Trying to install the firmware comes with the following response:
./CP010989.scexe
Flash Engine Version: Linux-1.2.0-0-8
Name: Online ROM Flash for Linux - Power Management Controller (c-Class blades)
New Version: 3.4
The software will not be installed on this system because the required
hardware is not present in the system or the software/firmware doesn't
apply to this system.
The Power Management Controller on this system does not support firmware updates.
We have been getting a similar response on a Windows blade.
The blade meets all the prerequisite patches according to the release notes.
However reseating the blade in question seems to have made the original error go away.

Re: Unusual Predictive Failure
The 3.4B is working on those blades/serves that have a PMC that can be upgraded and where it is indeed needed to do the upgrade.
A HP advisory should soon be released explaining this.

Re: Unusual Predictive Failure
How do I check which version of PMC firmware I have?
