DL380 G3 will not PXE boot, misacknowledges DHCP

[Aaron.S]

I have two DL380 G3 units, both exhibiting the same problem. Namely, after upgrading to the latest firmware (off the 8.5 firmware disk), they no longer recognize receiving any communications from the DHCP server.

They worked, then I ran the disk, as 'latest' firmware is usually the cure for these sorts of problems.

But lo and behold, both have stopped acknowledging DHCP addressing and no longer PXE boot.

The DHCP server still acknowledges the DL380 G3 units as being assigned addresses... just the units them selfs do not seemt to realize this.

The DL380 G3 units are on the same subnet at the DHCP server. At the very least I need these boxes properly recognizing and talking to the DHCP server and picking up addresses before I even want to consider trying to fix the PXE portion of the problem (and hopefully, solving the DHCP issue will solve both)

Thank you for your time and help.

Problem has be traced to the entire system refuses to acknowledge it has disk space. Starting a new thread.
