VC EBIPA Problem with Fw3.15

[Nima Gh.]

I've upgraded the Firmware of C7000 iLO using the package FW920B.iso (The latest available) and The FW V3.15 is used for VC Flex-10 Modules.
An Error happens:
After Clearing VC mode and Resetting the Factory Settings, The Assigned address for VC#1 remains unchanged! any try to change the IP address through EBIPA fails!

This brought me to a crisis! Please give me your comments about any possible solution!

Sorry? Did you clear VC and do factory reset or did this happen as part of the process?

Is anything (VC) working or is there just a problem with one module?

[Nima Gh.]

I explicitly cleared VC Mode and then did factory reset! This happens with one VC module (in exact words: with one bay!) replacing VC had no effect for the said bay, but replacing OA made anything OK! I guess that this would be related to the OA Firmware!

Just querying why you needed to do this as part of a fw update.

All ok now though? Reset of OA often sorts things out.

[Nima Gh.]

I did it not as a part of FW update! I did it since it was needed for some other reasons!

[cjb_1]

OK. So no problem with fw then.

[Nima Gh.]

I mean Native Problem! Since we had the same problem with a device bay and it became fixed with FW update! I just want to know if there is another reason for this problem or no!

Sadly i can't provide a solution but I'd comment that this is not uncommon.

I have had issues with replacement modules retaining an old ip address and requiring resets and reseats to force the OA to recognise the change and apply the new IP. I think this is a general problem rather than firmware specific.

I just want to mention that we encountered the VC EBIPA Problem with OA FW 2.60 and VC FW 2.33. OA FW 2.60 is almost 2 years old.
