Hi all,
We reviewed the below advisory from HP regarding the Smart Array controllers on Gen9 servers.
http://h20566.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c04805565&jumpid=em_alerts_us-us_Sep15_xbu_all_all_2361702_2272…
The advisory states:
An HP ProLiant Gen9 server may stop responding and on the reboot, will display the following 1719 POST error message:
1719-Slot 0 Drive Array - A controller failure event occurred prior to this power-up. (Previous lock up code = 0x13)
Even though we have not seen any failures, we began testing the firmware update (3.02) and it completely bombed our 1st server; it's stuck at POST. We had the Linux guys perform the upgrade on there server and although it appears to have applied successfully, the firmware version never changed to 3.02. We have a case open with HP and are awaiting feedback, but in the meantime, i wanted to see if anyone else has pushed this FW update out to their ESXi5.5 Gen9 servers with the Smart Array controller.
Any feedback is appreciated.
