Over 20K a day. Only 1 of 10 servers showing error message. Google and forum search is not coming up with much, anyone seen this before?

I've observed these messages after out-of-band iLO2 firmware upgrade. Restart of HP agents and iLO driver seems to solve this.

  1. /etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents stop

  2. /etc/init.d/hp-health stop

  3. vmkload_mod -u hpilo

  4. vmkload_mod hpilo

  5. /etc/init.d/hp-health start

  6. /etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents start
