SUT status shows Managment host: OneView while iLO is not managed

[Tinux]

Hi,

I  have 5 DL360 Gen10 host running ESXi 7.0.3 which are register as 'monitored' in OneView 7.20
To speed up firmware updates I launced the SUM instance from the SPP (30 minutes vs 85 minutes with OneView), added the iLO addresses and made sure SUT is in "AutoDeploy" mode.
Now for 4 hosts this worked very well, however (off course) the last host would not start staging the updates and execute them.

I noticed on this particular host that the SUT -status command returned "Management Host: HPE OneView" while all other host return "OS Administrator"

Where does SUT determine it is under HPE OneView or the OS Administator control ?
I did remove en re-install SUT but it still returns HPE OneVIew.
I checked the iLO and there is no HPE OneView menu present.

Hi,

What are you pointing out to with these 2 documents ?

We gave up on SUT because we always had problems with it.  However, if I remember correctly you need to make a sut set command.  Check here: SUT Guides

SUT picks this information up from the iLO.  To verify if there is any OneView management/monitoring configuration, you can use the HPEiLOCmdlets to view the IPManager value of the root Redfish node:

PS C:\>  $resp = Get-HPEiLOInfo -Address ilo-hostname -DisableCertificateAuthentication
PS C:\>  $resp.Manager

Blade                  :
DefaultLanguage        : en
ExternalManager        : None
FQDN                   : ilo-hostname.fqdn.local
HostName               : ilo-hostname
IPManager              :
Languages              : {HPE.iLO.Response.Redfish.MgrLanguage}
ManagerFirmwareVersion : 2.81
ManagerFirmwarePass    :
ManagerType            : iLO 5
SelfTestErrors         :
Status                 : HPE.iLO.Response.Redfish.Status

In my example above, ExeternalManager is None, and IPManager is an empty collection.  I would expect to see HPE OneView as the value for ExternalManager and IPManager to contain a collection of attributes.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the explanation.

So when I do notice that either the ExternalManager or IPManager field contains a value (even when no 'HPE OneView' menu item is visible in the iLO), how can I clear this value ?
It would have been easier if the OneView menu item where there, then a delete option would be present.
Mind you, I am not a daily PowerShell user.

I sure don't hope a Factory default reset is the only way ...

So, does the response contain values as I pointed out?  If so, are you sure when you log into the iLO that you do not see an HPE OneView navigation node on the left side of the UI?  If that's true, then I will have to investigate a way to clean this system up without performing an iLO factory reset.

Hi Chris,

Well, this gets interesting:
This is the output from SUT on  ESXi:
SUT -status

And this is the output from the iLOCmdlets:
iLOCmdlets

All the other iLO's show the same output
Looks like something is being cached somewhere and SUT reads from there.

BTW: At the time of typing this reply I decided to finish the FW update off-line using OneView, so the host doesn't have any downtime anymore.
If the fastest solution is to Factory reset the iLO, then so be it, but I rather resolve this issue in a 'non-destructive' way when possible.
