After deploying BIOS P89 v2.40 (02/17/2017) and/or ILO Firmware 2.50 (09/23/2016) an HP DL380 Gen9 Server stops during early BIOS boot sequence at the following message:
“Starting drivers. Please wait, this may take a few moments…”
Note: BIOS P89 v.2.40 is part of the HPE SPP from April 2017 (SPP 04/2017)
It seems, that there is a problem when you install BIOS B89 v2.40 in combination with the ILO Firmware v2.50. A possible workaround is to downgrade the ILO Firmware to Version 2.40.
Workaround:
- download ILO Firmware v2.40 (1 Apr 2016) -> cp027575.exe
- extract the content of cp027575.exe to C:\temp
- connect to the ILO of the affected host
- go to “Administration” – “Firmware”
- select the file “ilo4_240.bin” from C:\temp
- click “Upload” to start the downgrade
- Done!
When done, please check that you use the following combination: BIOS P89 v2.40 (02/17/2017) with ILO Firmware v2.40 (04/01/2016)
