Blade Enclosure

[Shaun Wells_4]

All,
Currently have 4.2 installed and so far so good except for one thing. When I goto Tools, Intergrated Systems, HP BladeSystems and look at my Blade enclosure which I have three off. I notice that SIM is not detecting all my blades, When I look at the console under 'All Systems' I can see the servers have been detected, but it does not say include the rack name beside it, therefore this is mostly probably why it's not being displayed. This seems to be occuring on three or four of the servers. Does anyone have any suggestions. Cheers,Shaun.

There appear to be two issues here. There is a bug in HPSIM that causes the enclosures to get bogus names, something like ENCLOSURE--JK--EA--FD---- and that will result in this problem. There will be a patch to HPSIM to address this. We're just going into QA on the patch and I expect we'll ship it by the end of Febuaury.

Second, there is a bug in some portion of the enclosure FW that ends up in the switches not reporting their enclosure right. This is being worked on - I don't have a good ETA on a fix here, but know that people are actively working it.

Thanks for the response. I would also like to know would this effect the displaying of the GBe2 switches as well. As currently I cannot see these through SIM.

I had a similiar issues with my F-GbE2 switches. It was only after I upgraded the firmware on the switchs did SIM properly identify them,

I am just experiencing this problem.
But all my firmware is up to date.
I'm using enhanced enclosures with latest revision F/W of 2.10 for the Management Module. (I think thast the latest).

My iLO's are latest at 1.64 as well.

Everything was working fine for me until possibly a few days ago when things just went crazy.

Do you think the GbE2 switch firmware could have an impact as well?

Sorry. Didn't fully read the above responses.
