Upgraded BladeCenter Firmware before Blade Firmware

After the upgrade I found the note that I should do the blade upgrades first, however, by then the damage was done.

Now when I go to the device bay, select a server, then select the "information" tab, it just spins and never returns with data.

How do I fix this?

Details:
Blade Center c7000
Firmware: 2.32
Most Blades are BL460s

You want to install the lastest Online iLO firmware and then the latest Online ROM BIOS firmware from the OS on the blade. Then reboot.
You may need to reinsert the blade.

You can reset the blade if it's "stuck"

SSH to OA IP

reset server [bay number]

And like said above, ILO FW update before OA

And I forgot, BladeCenters are IBM products, surely you mean Bladesystem or Blade Enclosure or Blade Chassis? :-)

Blade Chassis :)

So it definitely requires a shutdown of the blade? That's a bummer.

In Device bays if Status TAB is Loading and Information is Not Loading?
Try Clear your Browser Cache once (Delete Temporary Internet Files). then you can try the above mentioned options.

Unfortunately shutting down the Blade and re-seating it did not help.

Clearing the browser did not help either.

Here is the time line again:
1) Upgraded C7000 OA to 2.32
2) Lost the ability to use the "information" & "virtual media" tabs
3) Upgraded BL460 to iLO 1.7
4) shutdown blade, re-seated blade, restarted

Still can not access tabs.

Thoughts??

An option would be to downgrade the OA firmware.
