We have 3x DL385 (G1) servers and as part of a routine service the first was patched and restarted, luckily after 'testing' if how easy migrating the VMs off it would be. The second failed to boot after it's VM's were migrated just in case and it was patched and restarted, the third is not going to be patched just yet..!
I'd spoken to HP about the issue, certain that this couldn't be a fluke, something must have been logged by others before. They couldn't find anything. I saw this on their website today when searching for a solution, I hope this is will help us both. http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1295972153754+28353475&threadId=1422417 http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1295972153754+28353475&threadId=1422417 Final entry in the post reads: "New motherboard? Nope didnt work. Nothing more frustrating then replacing the motherboard and have the exact same error. Spoke with LEVEL1 support at hp and we dumbed down the server and still nothing. After 2 hours we found a internal article that references a proglem with the DL385G1 with the PCI riser cage. Well after swapping and trading and changing i decided to replace the PCI riser cage and guess what? Worked the machine is now posting and booting. Finished installing esxi so all is well in South Florida......
