ILO3 unresponsive

[Suat Pinarli]

Looks like we may have resolution to this issue and others. We have updated firmware ILO to 1.20, BIOS to 2011.01.28. Installed PSP 8.70 which includes the ILO 3.3.0.0 driver. In addition, power setting in the BIOS have been changed to

Power Profile: Maximum Performance
Power regulator: Static High Performance Mode
Advanced Power: Maximum Processor Idle Power State: No C-states.

If you have been dropping DIMMS, Processors or mainboards the power state should resolve this as well. We are not sure that firmware and driver has had an impact on this but we are reasonably certain the power settings have. We have been running with this config for about a week with our heavily used SQL boxes (96GB RAM) and haven't heard a peep yet. Normally these boxes would pop within a day or two of resetting the ILO with the above firmware and driver.
