Upgrading Issue On IBM Blade Center

Hi,

Today i have updated our ESX 3.02 with new critical patches and updates. But keyboard issues come up. Now we can not use the keyboard on any ESX server, but while i switch to a windows server the keyboard is working.Then switching again back to an ESX server the same keyboard issue comes up.

What is the problem here, and is there any solution for that, so i can use "alt+F1"

Thanks all.

Note:

  1. IBM Blade Center HS21 series

  2. ESX 3.0.2+patches

Have you rebooted the Blades since the upgrade? How many Blades is this affecting or have you tried this on?

I had the same after upgrading to 3.0.2 Update 1 the following steps worked for me:

  1. SSH into the service console as root.

  2. Edit /etc/modules.conf and add the following two lines to the end of the file.

    alias usb-controller usb-uhci
    alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd

  3. Reboot the server.

hi,

  • we restarted the servers,

  • all ESX servers behave in the same way

More over we did:

SSH into the service console as root.

Edit /etc/modules.conf and add the following two lines to the end of the file.

alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd

Reboot the server.

the problem is still there.

tnx again for the time you spend for us.

What version did you upgrade from? Was it 3.02 to 3.02 with patches or was it a 2.x to 3.02 with patches?
