Exchange 2003 running on DL380G6 servers

[Lee Akester]

has anyone had the problem with exchange clusters getting hung while trying to reboot? Our exchange team is trying to run exchange 2003 on this newer hardware and when they run their scheduled reboots..the servers get hung. They have to iLO in and reset them.

Hello,

the problem is not the software.
There exist a hardware problem continually reboots on a DL380G6.

Thanks...but our problem is not with them rebooting on their own. Our problem is that when the server starts the scheduled weekly reboot it shuts down the system logs, then shuts down the network connections, then hangs!! We have to iLO in and restart them manually. This is happening on our 3 newest exchange clusters...all 3 clusters were built on HP DL380 G6's. We have 10 other clusters running on older HP hardware without this problem.
