vmware logging ilo_close errors on bl460c

[Robert Cook_6]

I have a c7000 with bl460c G6 blades running vmware ESX version 4.0. The vmKernel logs are filling up with these errors:

Any ideas?

No idea - is HP System Management showing some problems? Or try to update ESX (curently release update2)

Jan,
SMH shows no errors though under "Management Processor" it says none. On one of my other esx servers that's a dl580 g4 it shows the ilo in SMH. Am I maybe missing a driver for the ilo on my blade?

Yes, install management agents from HP do ESX - check your server drivers page and choose ESX...

Jan,
Thanks. These are production so I will have to wait for a maintenance window to load. Hopefully this fixes the messages.

Thanks,

Bob

Hello,
I am not sure but probably there is no need to restart ESX or put into maintenance mode during HP software, but maybe I am wrong.
Anyway - let us know then.
