Linux Blade after firmware either NIC's disconnected or unable to reboot or power off.

Good day All,

Welcome back!!! recently Unix team started to do firmware upgrade on the blades and after upgrade when to reboot the Servers couple of issues was reported

1. all the NIC cards would be in disconnected state
2. Blade will not respond or will not be able to hard reset or power it off state.

Following steps was performed to fix the issue

1. Reset the blade :

  • Login to OA and make note of the bay the blade is in under. 
  • Now open putty and connect to primary OA IP
  • type reset server bayno. 


ask you to confirm and then it will show successfully done.

2. If resetting the blade fails then login to Virtual connect Manager. Go to profiles and select the blade and click edit.Down below you will see a option to un-assign the profile for the server and click ok.  Now go back to Server and then apply the same profile back and click Apply and power on the blade.

hopefully this helps someone and until next one all have a good day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
