ilo5 DL360Gen10 with vmware

[shang83]

I've 2 DL360Gen10 server installed with ESXi6.5 U2 VMware-ESXi-6.5.0-Update2-8294253-HPE-Gen9plus-650.U2.10.3.0.24-Jun2018.  The servers comes with ilo5 firmware 1.30. 

I encounter false alarm mentioning ALOM port 3 and 4 warning on the ESXi and in the vCenter. I then patch the ilo5 firmware from 1.30 to 1.37 but still it have not resolve the issue. 

Anyone here encounter this issue? I've seen the temporary resolution is to downgrade the firmware to 1.20. 

I've also log case to HPE but they have not come out with a solution.
