Environment:
HP DL360e GEN 8, iLo 4 v 2.10 (also observed in 2.03 on this server, and 2.00 on DL620p G8)
ISC-DHCPD 4.2.5
We're observing iLo failing to request a DHCP lease if a renewal is not granted.
The sequence of events is:
* DHCP server is running on network iLo is connected to
* Power is connected to server
* iLo gets a DHCP lease and we can connect to the web interface and use IPMI
* iLo continues to renew the DHCP lease every 2 minutes which is the correct renewal period
* DHCP server becomes unavailable - this is expected during software updates, etc.
* iLo requests a renewal and does not receive it
* iLo is no longer reachable via the previously leased IP
* iLo does not broadcast lease requests
* DHCP server becomes available
* iLo does not request a lease, and continues to be unreachable
At this point the only remedy is to disconnect the network cable from iLo or bounce the port on the switch. After iLo detects the interface coming up, it requests a DHCP lease and receives one from the DHCP server.
The expected behavior is that iLo would continiously request a new lease if it did not receive a renewal.
Is there a way to set iLo to request a new DHCP if a renewal fails?
Thanks,
Tony
