Updating HPE software, drivers, firmware tooling

Hi, 

I`m trying to figure out how to easy update the software/drivers/firmware on a proliant dl380 G8. Off course I can go to hpe.com and check all the software and compare it to the drivers and software already on board.  

I have just one server, but now I have installed, HP SUM, HP SIM, and a version control repository and agent on the server. This took me hours of work and now the server has sql2014 express and sql2008 express and all kinds of tooling and software just to check if there are updates for this one server. Isn`t there some way to just let the server check to a HPE.com repository and download the neccesary drivers/firmwares/software ?

(I have the gen8.1 software proliant pack installed before I installed all the above mentioned software).

Hi All, seeing this error when trying to apply ILO config. ILO is out of the box and default, only our adm in user has been added. 

<!-- Status = 0x002B-->
<!-- Message = Minimum password length value exceeded.-->

I'm logging in (I think, I'm not ILO export) via

C:\Program Files\Hewlett Packard Enterprise\HPONCFG\hponcfg.exe  /f config.xml

<RIBCL VERSION="2.1">
<LOGIN USER_LOGIN="xxRemote" PASSWORD="1234567890">

 

That's not the password, but it's the same amount of characters. 

Can anyone offer advice please.

I am trying to run first over UEFI.

Please advise or if you meet with similar problem.

Keeping DL360 and Dl380 G8s up to date with ESXi.

Hi there,

 

I'm looking to understand the best way to keep my DL360 and DL380/5 G8s up to date with the latest VMware ESXi possible.

My idea is that I can install the last compatible HPE Custom ESXi (6.5b) onto my hosts and then use the subsequent 'vanilla' ESXi installs as updates.

This way the host will retain the HPE specific drivers from the custom HPE ESXi.

Is this correct?

 

Cheers,

Alex

Replace disks in a RAID 1

Hello good afternoon.

I currently have a HPE ML110 G9 server with a 4GB p440 controller and the integrated b140i controller, in which I have the WS 2016 operating system in RAID 1. Currently in RAID 1 I have two 120GB OCZ TR150 disks with 20,000 working hours, and I would like to replace the two.

What would be the best system to replace the discs?

1 .- I make a backup of the operating system (I have backups made by Windows), change the disks and and reinstall the operating system of the backup? (I dont like this system very much).

2.- Replace a disk, let the system rebuild the new unit, and then replace the other and let it rebuild again.

The new discs that I want to incorporate are two Samsung 860 Pro 250GB, which have a larger size than the old OCZ. Once the two new 250GB disks are incorporated, will I be able to expand the total capacity from the SSA?

Thank you!

I don't need hardware raid for the sata drives.

Hello

I have a customer which develops critical applications for aeronautic industry and because of the certifications, can not switch to centos 7 until may 2019 (estimated). 

During the regular process, the servers must be monitored over ipmi. On Gen10 with CentOS 6 we hit an error: impi can not see the power supplies.

On CentOS 6 - with kernel 2.6.32-754, from distro, or 4.8.11-1, recompiled, the reading is below

Power Supply 1 | Not Readable | ns
PS 1 Output    | no reading   | ns
Power Supply 2 | Not Readable | ns
PS 2 Output    | no reading   | ns
Power Meter    | 60 Watts     | ok

IPMI modules loaded: impi_ssif, impi_si, impi_devintf, impi_msghandler and i2c_core

 

On CentOS 7 - with kernel 3.10.0-862 (from distro):

Power Supply 1 | 0x00         | ok
PS 1 Output    | 60 Watts     | ok
Power Supply 2 | 0x00         | ok
PS 2 Output    | disabled     | ns
Power Meter    | 60 Watts     | ok

IPMI modules loaded: impi_ssif, impi_si, impi_devintf, impi_msghandler and i2c_core

 

Any idea how can I read the power supply status over ipmi ?

Thank you

DL360 Gen8 upgrade to 12G SAS/SATA needed and if yes possible?

Hi,

we are thinking about whether an operation of 12 SSDs in a DL360 Gen8 will lead to the limits of backplain performance. And if so, is there a way to bypass this by HW exchange / upgrade?

I would be grateful if someone would know about this and share his knowledge :)

Thanks, Felix

Array card - changing from a Smart HBA H240ar to an HPE Flexible Smart Array P440ar/2GB

I have been tasking with replacing an HBA H240AR array card in a DL380 Gen9 server to a P440.

The server currently has a RAID 10 setup with a spare, and the server is running VMWare 6 from an SD card.

I have been told I can just replace the card as the RAID set is stored on the drives. and the new card will pick up the RAID set.

In the quickspecs of the H240AR it states "seamless updates to other HPE Smart Array P-Series controllers", so this leads me to think the above is correct.

Does anyone have any experince or input on this upcoming change?

[DL360 Gen 9] iLO dedicated port not working

Hi

i have a problem with the iLO dedicated port on one of my servers, i noticed an erratic behaviour on it, sometimes disconnecting itself, at first i thought it was a cabling issue, but after changing it and actually testing a couple more (cables already tested in other servers) the issue was persisting.

there's a chance that the issue is with the ports, since the port is not blinking anymore, but i wonder if there's any other tests you may know, i had a server before, who showed the same behaviour but it was after an iLO firmware update stopped before the update was complete.

my servers run CentOS 7.2

HP Proliant DL380 Gen10 (Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V vTPM issue)

October 11, 2018, 2:48 am

Hi guys,

I have a HP Proliant DL380 Gen10 server here which doesn't have a TPM chip. I have installed Windows Server 2016 Datacenter on it and enabled Hyper-V.

I want to enable virtual TPM on generation 2 VMs enabled on them. To enable vTPM on the VM's it doesn't require the host server to have a TPM chip according to microsoft.

The server is running UEFI and I have secure boot enabled. This is confirmed from the host OS (msinfo32).

The problem: when trying to start a Hyper-V generation 2 machine with vTPM enabled, it will prompt "The virtual machine xxx can't start because the host's Isolated User Mode is off." The error message itself is old, because "Isolated User Mode" has been deprecated in Server 2016 and Windows (1607 and later).

"Isolated User Mode" has been replaced with Virtualization Based Security which I have enabled with (tried all ways of enabling it; GPO and Registry) as per MS guide on Deploy Windows Defender Device Guard: enable virtualization-based security.

The core issue is that I can't get the status of "Device Guard Virtualization based security" (VBS) to change from "Enabled but not running" to "Running" (as seen in msinfo32).

What I have tried so far in this order:

Upgrading to newest BIOS/UEFI.
Upgrading to latest Windows Server 2016 October CU.
All possible combinations of the GPO for Turn On Virtualization Based Security.
In bios, unchecked secure boot and re-checked secure boot from UEFI, including remove all secure boot keys, reset bios to factory default settings.
Reinstalled with Windows Server 2016 Datacenter and enable Hyper-V role.
Tried not to update to latest CU with no effect and the updated with latest CU (October 2018).
Installed the HostGuardian windows feature.
Alas all attempts fails with the same deprecated error message, and the "Device Guard Virtualization based security" is still stuck at "Enabled but not running".

I know that this it not an easy question to answer, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

The end result that I am looking IS possible. Because I have another Gen10 server with same model, specs and it had no issue turning on vTPM. Also tested on older HP Proliant servers Gen9, 8, 7, 6 as well. I would like to point out that on the working ones, I did not have to change any BIOS/UEFI/GPO settings to get VBS running.

So I know it can be done, but I am stuck.
