This morning our HP Proliant DL380 G9 server welcomed us with a beautiful led blinking. It's the so called "health led". It is flashing a 1Hz frequency and, reading HP docs, I discovered that it means that iLO is rebooting. Well, this is the first time that I noticed this behavior in two years that we have this server on our premises. The first time that iLO reboots without any my intervention and without a full reboot of the server. Beside this matter, server seems to work normally. Why is iLO rebooting? Thank you for your time. Regards, Riccardo

  • is iLO configured for access? Can you access the server this way? Have you checked the HP Management software to ensure it's not another reason for this light to be flashing? – Stese Apr 13 '17 at 08:11
  • What colour is it flashing? Can you access iLO? Is it still flashing? May be worth phoning HP support? – BlueCompute Apr 13 '17 at 08:48
  • Dunno - log into iLO and look at the logs – Chopper3 Apr 13 '17 at 09:28

thank you all for your answers. Answering to BlueComputer, health led was flashing green. And answering to Dave and Chopper3, I had been able to normally login to iLO. No problem there. The problem was the health of another component, the RAID controller in this case which I discovered seeking into the system routines at boot time. The led was signalling a degraded state of a logical disk because of the failure of one phisycal disk. Once I substituted the disk, the led stopped flashing and showed itself solid green again. Best regards.
