Replace a server adapter on server hardware with an assigned server profile in HPE OneView

Symptom

Server adapter failure

Cause

Server adapter failed and must be replaced.

Action
  1. Gracefully shut down the server.
  2. Replace the adapter on the server.
  3. If the corresponding server profile is configured with virtual identifiers (MAC & WWN addresses), proceed to step 4. If the profile is configured with physical identifiers (MAC & WWN), consider the following:
    1. Due to change in the identifiers, any Ethernet network configurations might be lost on the OS and require a reconfiguration.
    2. The server host WWN should be updated in your storage network zone and on the storage array.
  4. Check the firmware version of the new adapter.
    1. From the main menu, select SERVERS > Server Hardware or Server Profiles, and then select the server hardware or server profile that contains the replaced adapter.
    2. From the SERVERS > Server Hardware or Server Profiles screen, select Actions > Launch console.

      The iLO Integrated Remote Console is launched.

  5. Power on the server and check the firmware version of the new adapter during boot.
    1. To check that the firmware version matches your firmware baseline, from the main menu, select Firmware Bundles.
    2. Select your firmware baseline.
    3. Scroll through the list of firmware to find what is offered in your baseline and compare it to your adapter firmware.
  6. If the firmware version is different from the baseline and the server profile is assigned to an HPE Synergy server, the server firmware can be updated automatically with the reassignment of the server profile.
    1. From the main menu, select Server Profiles, and then select the server profile to edit.
    2. Select Actions > Edit. If needed, select the proper server hardware.
    3. To manage the firmware update manually, from the Firmware baseline list, select managed manually.
    4. To automatically update the firmware, select the appropriate firmware baseline. To install all the firmware, even if it is the same or newer, select Force installation.
    5. Click OK.
