iLO 4 issues

[RF2055]

In my Lastest batch of DL360 Gen8 sand DL380 Gen8 servers (order of about 40 systems), A little over 25% of them are having iLO issues.

Wondering is anyone has seen any similar isues or has Ideas on what to try next?

Here is what I see:

* the URL to the ilo (https://...) shows the "ILO 4 HP Prolaiant" but never show the "iLO hostname", eventaully I see "Connection with iLO cannot be established. If you recently made changes to the network configurations, you may need to refresh this page to re-negotiate an SSL connection" right below the login button

* Once a system gets in the mode, it never recovers.
we can DRAIN the power, the ilo works for a few minutes (10 to 30).
we see errors the event log server "iLO watchdog reset" messages
HP tech support had us downgrade the ilo firmware 2.00, also tried version 2.02 amd 2.03 no effect.

* Also after a recent system board resplace a DL360 started doing the same thing.
these systems are on a deldicate LOM network.
on the network I have 562 ILOs, 728 iDracs and 9 Sun iLOMs.
I only see the issue on new HP systems or HP system with recently replaced system boards

You may also want to post your question on the HP Business Support Forum -- DL Servers section.

Getting the same errors after upgrading firmware on BL460c's to 2.5. We have done eFuse and Reinstalled the ILO firmware and it still keeps failing on many of the blades with the error after a few days . Any solutions?
