jj-lolo 0 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I'm setting up a HP Microserver Gen 8 as a backup NAS. Server hasn't been used in a while so I upgraded it to to iLO Firmware Version 2.78, I noticed this error: Controller firmware revision 2.10.00 NAND read failure: Media is in a WRITE-PROTECTED state After some research I found this: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00048622en_us Basically, it says to format the NAND. I tried to do it within ILO (Option 1) but I don't have the format option as in the screenshot. So I tried option 3- From Windows OS (using the HPQLOCFG.exe utility but I got the following error Quote CPQLOCFG.exe: ERROR: Malformed RIB response: (30): HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented CPQLOCFG.exe: Script succeeded on "192.168.200.21:443" Has anyone solved this problem? I intend to use my SD slot to boot ESXi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orphée 216 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Try to re-flash ILO, I remember I had a similar issue, but can't remember exactly what I did, but I think I reflashed ILO. There is also a new 2.79 release. But I downgraded to 2.60 with hacked ILO version to be able to manage FAN speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its mainly used to store internal iLO stuff and boot the Inteligent Provisioning tool. You can though install a very inexpensive MicroSD card in the MicroSD Slot.

Thanks, found the format option, I had to press iLO Health twice. Unfortunately, pressing formatting the NAND and resetting 4 times with unplugging for a minutes in between didn't work. I also tried upgrading/downgrading ILO firmware versions and that didn't work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was able to find the format and that unfortunately didn't work for me. I wasn't sure if the microsd would stop working if the nand degraded more since in the instructions it says not to have an SD card in there. Not sure I understand your SD card comment?

NAND and MicroSD port is something different. When you choose to format the NAND, you are formating a part of the NAND media that is used by iLO to write internal logs etc. You can still use the MicroSD port to install a MicroSD card and install ESXi there.
