DL380 G6 hangs booting ESXi while initializing power management
Hi,
I have a problem which occurs randomly when the server boots up. It is a standalone ESXi host. It hangs when initializing power management.
I have read suggestions to turn off power management and ACPI in ESXi's boot configuration and also to set Power Management to OS Controlled in BIOS.
I have tried to find out how to disable ACPI in the BIOS but could not see the settings to do so. Is ACPI setting visible in BIOS? Also, will setting the Power Management to OS Controlled resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance,
Vlad
EDIT:
It seems that setting the Power Regulator to OS Controlled most likely resolved the issue. It has cold-booted and hot-booted several times without issues.

Re: DL380 G6 hangs booting ESXi while initializing power management
Hi,
this try resolution.
During system boot, press F9 to enter the RBSU.
Select Power ManagementOptions.
HP PowerProfile.
Select Maximum Performance.
Save and exit RBSU.
ESXi version ?
Regards.
Erdogan

Hi,
To add to previous point, for more information and screenshots of RBSU for G6 Server Click here to access Guided Troubleshooting. Follow this directions : Configuration and setup > Maintenance and Configuration > Rom Based Setup Utility (RBSU) > RBSU Menu Generation 6 > Power Management Options > HP PowerProfile.
Thank You!

Re: DL380 G6 hangs booting ESXi while initializing power management
I updated my ESXi host 5.0 by VMware patch 2 and then reboot and my server hangs at the prompt "initializing power management".
My server is HP DL380 G6.
But the solution you provided above solved my problem.
Difference is- after applying your solution my server freezed itself at the same prompt first time; but i then force rebooted the system again and this time my server properly booted to the OS.
Thanks for the solution.

Re: DL380 G6 hangs booting ESXi while initializing power management
I have a DL 370 G6 and had the same problem when upgrading from 4.1 to 5.1 Update 1 but these settings didn't work for me.
I had to set the power profile to OS controlled. I tried to set it via iLO but that didn't stick so I did it via the BIOS.
