DL370 G6 and NC375i issues

[Peter Cambouris]

Like seriously...
Just got off the phone with HP support, and I must say....they...well nevermind. Basically i am trying to update the firmware of the NC522SFP and the nxflash_x64 utility does not work at all.. Keep getting NetUserGetInfo:failed

HP told me that its broken and that I need to replace the NIC....lazy answer...which i told him that

Can someone provide me the right syntax to update this? my is lan

Would really appreciate this

Hi Peter,

to install FW: C:\hp\sp47194>nxflash_x64.exe -i lan --all

to check version/status of NIC FW:

C:\hp\sp47194>nxflash_x64.exe -i lan --info

Hint: I was sometime wondering that start of nxflash_x64 with a domain admin account goes to error, but nxflash_x64.exe runs successfull if started with local built-in Administrator account...

PS: be informed, there is new NC-Series QLogic firmware v.10.0. (28.Mai2010).
Please give your feedback after your tests.

Mfg,

Kopp -

can you tell me where I can get this 10.0 firmware? We are still have issues under certain conditions with the 9.90 firmware and drivers for the NC375i on the DL370's.

you right... v10.0 is removed from HP Page for DL370 G6... *strange*

Hi all,
firmware v10.10 from 09.Sept2010 is available now:(sp49369.exe for all Win 2003 and Win2008 OS).

Can anyone confirm, that solved BPDU issue?
Thx.

I applyed FW 10.20 (15 Dec 2010 - SP50817.exe)and it did not solved the problem.

I boot in PXE then the port is down by the BPDU Guard:

Jan 4 14:57:54.565 CET: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet4/0/34, changed state to down
Jan 4 14:57:55.563 CET: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet4/0/34, changed state to down
Jan 4 14:57:56.058 CET: %SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_BPDUGUARD: Received BPDU on port GigabitEthernet4/0/34 with BPDU Guard enabled. Disabling port. (SW18SRVA-4)

I am having the exact issue, did you ever resolve this with the HP NC522SFP ?!
