TomP Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 ILO4 is showing error ... "Controller firmware revision 2.10.00 NAND read failure " Advice on what to do would be welcome, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeve Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I have the same thing and don't worry about it, as far as I know its a failure of the NAND ilo chip on the motherboard, its a fairly common problem with these systems. I don't think it will effect the running of the system, apart from maybe the ilo? Anyone else share their thoughts about this? Will it get worst?

Just found this HPE advisory.... https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00048622en_us I can vouch for the ILO NAND reformatting method being available on my G8 Microserver, so can somebody knowledgeable tell us if this is the right / safe way to go? Thanks Update: this came from an HPE community link ... https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/hp-proliant-gen8-sd-card-issue-ilo-diagnostic/td-p/6971780/page/2#.X6uqtd9xfpg ...and on the final Page 3, the last comment was... "I had the same message and iLO Version 2.7.2 offered the option to format NAND Flash, which I did. On reboot the error persists. But I found out that first setting iLO to factory defaults and then formatting did the job" ...so does this all make sense?

I'm not sure, hopefully one of the site experts can help advise what is the best procedure. I do note that the HPE advisory also says... "After the NAND format is initiated, the iLO 4 is automatically reset and the iLO 4 GUI login page is displayed (the user will need to log into the iLO 4 GUI again)" ...so maybe the observed behaviour is expected, but the user that reset ILO defaults might not have logged into ILO4 GUI again?

I'm hoping one of the resident experts can confirm this method is the right thing to do before I do something I might regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While waiting for the experts to respond, my Gen 8 V2 ML310E also developed a NAND fault, so I decided to reformat. ML310E went fine but the Microserver now gives a new message (attached). I did try refromatting again but the message persists, so has anybody any idea how to resolve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomP Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 After about a week of trying, the error just disappeared without me doing anything, so I am good now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumburak Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 About an year ago, I've bought an used Gen8 from the local ebay, with the same error. From the iLo interface I've reformatted the iLo and the error is gone now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
