ILO 2.55 update may segfault hpasmlited
ewwhite opened this issue · comments
FYI
Routine update of ILO4 on some Gen8 ProLiant DL360p and DL380p units resulted in the crashing of hpasmlited process and losing ILO control of the fans/temperature sensors.
This weekend, 4 of 300 Gen8 systems under my management were reported to have fans running at full speed and no sensor/fan/power stats.

This seems to be isolated to the earliest system boards of Gen8 systems; possibly 2012/2013-era servers. A regular reboot resolved this.
Hi Ed,
Thanks for reporting this, but I don't think there's much python-hpilo can do about this. I'll close this issue as discussed on slack.
