HPE ILO Re-Discovery Removing Physical Drives

Help
1

I recently upgraded HPE ILO5 on a few servers and noticed that when I went into discovery and re-ran that it removed all the drives.

Only reason I ran it as it saw that the temperature was 0 Degrees.

Has there been a change in the way it’s being discovered or do I need to update anything to get this functionality back. It seems to only be drive status affected. Doesn’t seem to affect ILO4 either.

The storage module was updated a few weeks ago so if you’d have seen an issue before now if it was related to that (still could be I guess).

If it’s happened after the iLO update then it’s most likely that and updated support needs adding. Can you post the output of ./discovery.php -h HOSTNAME -d -v

Here’s the discovery output.

This seems to have appeared to be a breaking change in ilo5 v3.0.0 onwards.

Thanks for feeding back, now much we can do then. You’ll either need to downgrade the ilo version or wait for the upgraded version

Yeah I agree. Have downgraded to 2.99
