Hi there,
We are having a weird problem with a couple of our new M620 ESX hosts. For some reason, they become totally unresponsive, cannot access them through the DRAC console, and IDRAC gui.
The only way around this is to virtually re-seat the server via the cmc console.
The below is the error recorded in the life-cycle log of the actual blade server. It also resets the date to the below.
1999-12-31T18:01:17-0600
Log Sequence Number: 130
Detailed Description:
The iDRAC controller cannot communicate with the power management firmware. The system may operate in a performance degraded state.
Recommended Action:
"1) Disconnect system input power, wait one minute, reconnect system input power. 2) Re-flash system BIOS. 3) Upgrade system BIOS to the latest revision."
Comment: cmc root
Any ideas as to what can be causing this? and a possible fix/firmware revision that might help?
thanks,
Devan.
