To day , i start my server dl180 g6, it not boot
when i put AC in, server start, no BMC light in motherboad, UID light turn on and can't turn off, fan spin,
power led is red, can't turn off by power button, must remove ac
i try recovery BMC, set jum27 to D, insert usb key with iLO firmware, but when i input ac on, nothing happen. it like when i boot normal, fan spin, UID light ....
may be motherboard die ?
I have set an Administrator Password to the UEFI on the server, without install any operating system, but I have lost it, and I don't know how to reset the password.
I have cleared two times the NVRAM with the mainteinance switch in the board, I have remove the cmos battery, but nothing happened, the configuration of the UEFI resets but the password is still there.
¿Anyone know what to do or what can I try?
Thanks in advance
I ran into eBay sell and the item had comment that [U320] disk has IBM firmware on it, and it might not work on other servers – can it really be like that? Or am I safer buying HP branded disks.
Thank you
Hi,
I would be highly appreciated obtaining any help for the following scenario.
We have HP ProLiant DL180 G6 server + Smart Array P410 (firmware 6.64, 256 MB, battery) + One RAID5 volume (7 SATA drives 1Tb + 1 SATA drive 1Tb as a hot spare).
We would like to expand existing RAID5 volume (and keep all data) by replacing all 8 SATA drives to 3 Tb SAS drives.
Is it possible to do this by replacing each drive one by one, waiting for complete rebuilding and finally expand volume by HP SSA? If so should we start from the hot spare drive, from the first RAID drive or it doesn’t matter?
Thanks!
Hello,
I need to replace a Xeon QC CPU on a ML350G5 server.
I was wondering if I need to use a CPU with the same part number (like for the mother board) or is not necessary.
Thank you.
Hi
We have recently moved to DL380 Gen9 servers from Gen8's. We use them in a manufaturing enviroment
with our own propriotary PCI-e cards. The cards functioned fine until we installed
BIOS firmware P89 V1.5 (07/20/2015) in “HP Service Pack for ProLiant 2015.10.0(v10.0_1)”
We are now experiencing the following error during POST.
- HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 servers may hang at approx 83% during POST.
- "X64 Exception Type 02 – NMI Detected" error displayed on (Post)
Note: The above issues may occur in either UEFI or Legacy boot modes.
Does anyone have any input on where I should begin in finding the cause/solution??
Thanks for any help on where to begin ( and no, picking a new card is not a option.)
While trying to install oracle linux 6.4 on HP DL160 GEn9, storage is not detected. This issue seems to be related to missing storage controller driver. Is there any possibility of merging the driver with the oracle linux 6.4 ISO? Please suggest me a solution.

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to deploy a standalone MDT build (Server 2008 R2 ENT x64) onto a Proliant DL460c server via iLO Virtual DVD Media (ISO) in the UEFI mode. The ISO boots up into WinPE properly, formats the drive with the GPT architecture and applies the operating system. When the server reboots back onto OS to carry on with the rest of the deployment I’m presented with a message prompt to insert CD/DVD media to continue the deployment. What I found out is that once the server is rebooted into OS, the mounted ISO is not present/visible, hence the deployment cannot reconnect back to the ‘build content’ to carry on with the build.
The ilo page (Virtual Media section) shows that media is connected. I can see the CD/DVD media is 'ticked' in the Virtual Drives within remote console, but it does not appear in the OS.
Also, the CD/DVD drive doesnt appear when I attempt to mount it manually.
The problem doesnt occur when the image is deployed in the BIOS Legacy mode. The above anomalies happen only when the deployment is performed in the UEFI mode.
The server/build details are below:
Build type: Standalone ISO Windows Server 2008 R2 ENT x64
Server model: Proliant DL460c Gen9
System ROM: I36 v1.40 (05/06/2015)
System ROM: Date 05/06/2015
Backup System ROM: I36 v1.32 (03/06/2015)
Integrated Remote Console: .NET Java
License Type: iLO 4 Standard Blade Edition
iLO Firmware Version: 2.20 May 20 2015
The ISO has been successfully deployed on a virtual environment in UEFI mode.
This has been driving me crazy for quite some time, and I think I ran out of ideas.
I would appreciate your ideas/suggestions.
Need to replace Smart Array 6400 controller on existing server.
Can I just plug in new controller without any additional configuration. Concerned about existing configuration and data.
Thanks,
We've been tracking this issue in the VMWare forums which I encountered fairly recently on my G7 series VMWare hosts when updating to Cookbook Release September 2015 for details you can follow that post here: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2562449#2562449
After updating a mixture of G7, G8 and G9 VMHosts to 5.5 update 3a and Cookbook release September 2015 (SPP JUN 15). I started having host errors specifically on my G7 hardware. One host went so far as to disconnect from VCenter.
I went the full boat update on the OS to bring it fully in line with HP's recipe. This was the first time hitting drivers in quite a while. So when the first errors started coming in, I immediately suspected the HPSA v106 ( Version:5.5.0.106-1OEM ) which was updated from v50 ( Version:5.5.0.50-1OEM)
VCenter is reporting errors
Lost access to volume 56424481-7f094eb0-8ee6-
80c16e6e15e0 (VMHost_local) due to
connectivity issues. Recovery attempt is in
progress and outcome will be reported shortly.
info 2/2/2015 9:00:45 AM (VMHost_local)
VMKernel.log was reporting some conflict's with claim rules between PowerPath and the NMP for the local disk but that was cleared.

I opened tickets with both HP and VMWare
VMWare came back with the first fix which was to upgrade the hpsa driver(hpsa 5.5.0.114-1OEM) which can be downloaded from https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXI55-HP-HPSA-550114-1OEM&productId=353. however overnight , the errors returned. Same occurred with posted version 116
HP support suggested back revving to version 84 then 74 of the driver which failed. In the end we have tried the following versions of the driver which have failed 116, 114,84,74 and the last stable version was 60. This has been a long standing issue.
So in Summary
HPSA driver later than v60 driving a HP Smart Array p410 controller of any firmware vintage with a spare drive configured. The spare drive configuration seems to cause an i/o back-feed into the driver blowing it up at irregular intervals. This issue will not surface unless a spare drive is configured on the array controller.
Existing HP case # from VMWare Engineering is 4651641937 Feel free to jump on the boat this is a long standing issue

Just got my HP Proliant 350 Gen 9 Server. My I know the step by step process in installing Windows 2012 R2
Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and just have an urgend question to you.
Yesterday we had big trouble with two HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 Servers.
Both server were installed with the SmartStart DVD 8.30. This was done 3 or 4 years ago. The servers have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and configured as a FileServer Cluster. Everything works fine so far.
Yesterday morning I did a short review of the configuration from the network interfaces. To do that I just opened the HP Network Configuration Utility (NCU). Till I click on the Icon in the task bar, the cluster service failed. In the event log I saw many entries about lost network addresses of the cluster.
Could someone tell me why this happens? How could it be that if I just open the NCU the cluster service crashes?
Does anyone have similar issues with MS cluster and the NCU?
Any comment/answer to this topic would be very nice and helpful.
Thanks,
tom
Just got my HP Proliant 350 Gen 9 Server. My I know the step by step process in installing Windows 2012 R2
Hi all, I have read a lot of documentation from HP (user manuals, specs, array storage manual, etc) so I have some knowledge of my Proliant server. I also have a great experience on debian, but I fail to master RAID issues.
I want to install debian on the aforementioned server, which is configured to use RAID 1 with the ACU utility.
The problem is that debian installer doesn't recognize the RAID configuration, althoug the cciss driver si loaded.
The configuration of the server is as follows:
So far, I have the following questions:
* Must I install the propietary HP drivers (hpdsa-ubuntu) for debian to recognize the hardware RAID?
* If I rule out the hardware RAID and go on with sofware RAID, must I disable hardware RAID?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Can you please give me the list of HP servers that detects an installation of centos 5.x. I already bought a DL380 gen9 and it didnt work there so im trying to buy another one that the OS above detects it disks.
I installed N.3 HD in cage and configured one array raid0 and want to use the third disk for backup.
I installed regularly Win2K12 R2 in raid0 array but there is no evidence of the third disk.
Is it normal ?? How can I configure controller to enable a single disk for operative system ?
Thank you for support
Hello!
We have server DL380 G7 with P410i controller. Our goal is to create RAID 6 array using this controller. We really need it.
It turned out that SAAP 1.0 license is required for that. But all our suppliers told us that this postion (part number) is no longer available for request so we can not buy this license.
All i can find on HPe site is interesting statement in HP SSA download description. It says "HP Smart Array Advanced Pack 1.0 and 2.0 features are now part of the baseline features of HP SSA, with the appropriate firmware."
Our controller is on current firmware 6.64(b). But it seems that is still have licensing engine and requires SAAP 1.0 license.
So what are HP plans for SAAP 1.0 license? Is it free? Is it going to be free? If yes - when? If nope - how we can buy it / what is replacement?
Thanks!
Does HP have Tower to Rack Conversion Kit for HP ML350 Gen9 Tower,
Where i can find something like this so i can put my tower server into Rack.
Thanks .
Fished me a Proliant DL380 of the 4th generation.
Brought it home, powered it up. No output on monitor, internal healt LED lights red. Opened it up, saw the CPU was not set as it should. (It was inserted but the lever to fix it was under the plastic tab, not above it. So it could be the pins were partially set in and partially not.) Setted it as it should be.
Restarted, still red light. LED on board indicates a faulty CPU. Resetted memory and VRM module just to eliminate that, result is still the same.
What else could I try?
I'm reluctant to buy a new CPU as I'm not shure if the MB itself is not faulty also. Would like to eliminate that possbility.
Greetings,
Eugen
