ILO2 driver advisory notes

HP

HP ProLiant iLO 2 Management Controller Driver Version 1.9.0.0 released in ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) Version 8.20 may prevent Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 from completing a shutdown or restart request. The shutdown or restart requests may halt at the final stages of shutdown even though other system components (such as the mouse) are still responsive.

This may be encountered when a communication request occurs between the HP ProLiant iLO 2 Management Controller Driver and the HP ProLiant iLO 2 Management Controller firmware while the HP ProLiant iLO 2 Management Controller Driver exception handler is in execution.

Check out this HP advisory about the ILO2 driver, this is not to say that we need to upgrade the driver overnight, but it might be worth scheduling in upgrading the support pack/ILO2 driver when it’s convenient to rule out any issues resulting from this.
