Lost connectivity to the device backing the boot filesystem
One of our HP Gen 9 blades had the following configuration error: Lost connectivity to the device mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0 backing the boot filesystem /vmfs/devices/disk/mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0. As a result, host configuration changes will not be saved to persistent storage. The boot filesystem is on an internal 8 GB SD Card. I logged into iLo, went to Diagnostics and found the system no longer saw the SD Card as mounted: We evacuated the host and reseated the SD Card. It mounted without issue but to be safe we went ahead and installed a replacement SD Card. Issue reoccurred. This is caused by the version of iLo running on the server. EDIT (9/14/2015): There seems to be a issue with the iLO firmware version 2.20 causing this issue. The firmware should be updated to version 2.22. HP should be releasing version 2.30 in the next few weeks that hopefully be a full fix for this issue! Big thanks to Mike B. for reporting his findings from HP!!! EDIT (10/2/2015): The new HP Service Pack for Proliant (SPP) (dated version 2015.10.0) contains updated iLO firmware 2.30! We are rolling this through our environment over the next week. EDIT (12/4/2015): The 5+ blades we upgraded to iLo 2.30 haven’t had the issue repeat. EDIT (12/10/2015): Multiple reports of the issue reoccurring on iLo 2.30 firmware have been received. Though 2.30 firmware seems to have helped the issue it …
