ILO2 firmware now 1.82

HP.com

Firmware Dependency:
This update also requires version 1.12.0.0 of the “hpqilo2.sys” (health) device driver.

Problems Fixed:
Fixed an issue prompting Windows ID 57 “Communication Timeout” errors in the Windows Event Viewer. Issue was caused when iLO was extremely busy servicing Virtual Media requests and an “hpqilo2.sys” (health) driver IPMI request timed out. This caused the iLO 2 FW and the “hpqilo2.sys” driver lose synchronization between the incoming request and the outgoing response. The visible indicator of this issue is multiple “ID 57” errors logged in the Windows Event Viewer by the hpqilo2.sys driver. This update also requires version 1.12.0.0 of the “hpqilo2.sys” (health) device driver.

Fixed an issue that could cause iLO 2 UHCI controller to halt after detecting a PCI timeout error on HP DL385 G5p and HP DL385 G6 servers. Symptoms of this issue are: 1) iLO 2 Virtual Keyboard/Mouse stop responding, 2) Windows Server 2003 hangs when shutting down, 3) Windows Server 2003 suddenly stops responding.

Fixed an issue introduced in iLO 2 v1.81 where the iLO 2 Virtual Keyboard/Mouse could fail to initialize when installing Linux or VMWare ESX 4.0.

Upgrading the drivers/firmware is one of the first thing vendors will ask when logging a call, and can bring enhanced functionality or fixes to resolve known issues. Do check it out, I’m off to download it and apply in the bladewatch lab.
