After flashing firmware 2.5 to the iLo of all of my servers, one of them (ml310e Gen8) the ilo stopped responding. i was getting messages in the system log of windows that ilo was resetting. this was happening every minute or so. I also cannot access the ilo page. If I put a ping on, it will ping a few packets, then fail a few packets, then ping a few, etc.
The ilo config utility says it can't communicate with ilo.
I've tried a complete power cycle to reset the ilo but that didn't help. I tried reflashing firmware (from within windows) but it fails because it can't communicate with the ilo. I'm not on site, its a remote location so i have not tried flashing from a bootable support pack.
Any ideas? It has to be from the firmware flash, is there any way to recover or is the ilo damaged? thoughts?
Thanks!
