iLo not responding on Microserver 8

[Mel_P]

I have had my HP Microserver 8 running for YEARS! Obtained an iLo licence when the temporary one expired (e.g. in 2014) and have been using it happily via my main PC and the remote console but suddenly the iLo4 remote console has stopped responding. I have tried reinstalling the remote console software but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Was originally on Windows 7 but have been running on Windows 10 for a year or 2, with no issues

The console opens but cannot communicate with the Microserver - it just times out / does not respond.

It's possibly some windows security update which is interfering with this "ancient" software (vintage 2014?) but not sure how to troubleshoot this.

Any ideas anyone. Search on OCUK "servers" topic and the web has not revealed any solution or even anyone reporting same problem.

Any suggestions please? Thanks, Mel

There should be an option to reset it from the OS, if there isn't a Win10 client you could boot from debian live CD and use that. I think the application is hponcfg (hp tool)

You might be able to reset it from the menu when you start the server?

Thanks - managed to reset during the HP server boot cycle before Windows was booted. Just in / out seems to have restarted it OK. Thanks.
