IвЂ™d also like to note that on the host using the SD-Card, the failed boot would actually completely lock up iLO, and would require physical intervention to disconnect and reconnect the power to the server. Powering on the iLO Amplifier would cause the ESXi hosts to fail to boot once again. We noticed that once the HPE iLO Amplifier Virtual Machine was powered off, not only did the servers boot faster, but they also booted 100% succesfully each time.

Inventory scan resets back to 0% during numerous different phases of BIOS initialization and POST.

Inventory scan completes, only to restart again numerous times during the server boot.

iLO Amplifier inventory percentage resets back to 0% and starts again numerous times during the server boot.

When one inventory completes, it restarts another scan. This issue occurs because the HPE iLO Amplifier is running continuous server inventory scans while the hosts are booting. We found the source of the issue and reported it to HPE technical support and are waiting for an update. HPE technical support was unable to determine the root of the issue. Installation will be successful, however you the issue is still experiences on boot. Re-installing ESXi on the media, as well as replacing the USB/SD Card has no effect. This issue may occur intermittently, on the majority of boots, or on all boots.

#ILO 2 FIRMWARE UPGRADE FAILS UPDATE#

Update вЂ“ June 5th 2019: Great news! As Bob Perugini (WW Product Manager at HPE) put it: вЂњHPE is happy to announce that this issue has been fixed in latest version of iLO Amplifier Pack, v1.40. HPE has provided me with a fix to test that I have been able to verify fully resolves this issue! Stay tuned for more information! Update вЂ“ May 24th 2019: As an HPE partner, I have been working with HPE, the product manager, and development team on this issue. Both hosts iLO controllers firmware were upgraded to 2.61, iLO Amplifier was deployed (and the servers added), and the amplifier was connected to an HPE InfoSight account. The issue started occuring on both hosts after a planned InfoSight implementation.

One server was using an internal USB drive for ESXi, while the other was using an HPE branded SD Card. Both were HPE Proliant Dе…ѓ60p Gen8 Servers. VCenter Version:7.Unable to boot ESXi from USB or SD Card on HPE Proliant ServerДЄfter installing HPE iLO Amplifier on your network and updating iLO 4 firmware to 2.60 or 2.61, you may notice that your HPE Proliant Servers may fail to boot ESXi from a USB drive or SD-Card. usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/dir-cli trustedcert publish -chain -cert /tmp/ov4vc.crtД¬at /tmp/oneview.crt > /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pemД¬at /tmp/oneview.crt > /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crtД¬at /tmp/ov4vc.crt > /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pemД¬at /tmp/ov4vc.crt > /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/dir-cli trustedcert publish -chain -cert /tmp/oneview.crt True | openssl s_client -connect IP_OF_Ov4VC:443 -showcerts >/tmp/ov4vc.crt True | openssl s_client -connect IP_OF_OneView:443 -showcerts >/tmp/oneview.crt This resolved it (same script, just included the OV4VC and OneView certs.) The error we received in the VC was: An error occurred while downloading depot metadata from 'OV4VC_HostName':3512/static/vsphere-web-client/XXXXXX Our original goal was to integrate OneView (OV4VC 10.1), but couldnВґt get it to work, however it was a similar issue (unable to register, download) so I took a snapshot of the vCenter and gave it a go, and now everything works perfect, guess its a Python thing?
