Frequently asked questions

How can I resolve the 'could not dequeue a packet' error when updating firmware on a ProLiant DL380 Gen12 server running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS?

This error typically means that the server is unable to communicate with iLO 7 via the Virtual NIC. Ensure that the Virtual NIC is activated, that the operating system recognizes it, and that the server can access the iLO VNIC address. Additionally, confirm that you are using the latest versions of the Gen12 SPP and SUM, and check the compatibility of the iLO firmware. [community thread]

Is there an online configuration utility for the DL380 Gen12 with iLO7?

No, there is no online configuration utility available for the DL380 Gen12 with iLO7. HPE has discontinued host-based configuration tools for newer ProLiant generations, and management is now primarily conducted through the iLO Web GUI, RESTful API, or scripting options. [community thread]

What should I do if my DL380 Gen12 fails to update using the SPP?

Ensure that you are running the Smart Update Manager (SUM) in local mode by executing the launch_hpsum.bat file as an Administrator. Verify that the SPP ISO is correctly mounted and that the necessary service ports (63001 for HTTP and 63002 for HTTPS) are accessible. If issues persist, consider updating directly through the iLO interface or using the iLO remote console for interactive updates. [community thread]

Do DL380 Gen11 and Gen12 servers support SNMPv2?

Yes, both the DL380 Gen11 and Gen12 servers support SNMPv2 for monitoring and trap forwarding, primarily for compatibility purposes. While SNMPv2 is available, it is recommended to use SNMPv3 for secure management. [community thread]

Is the NVIDIA A100 80GB GPU compatible with the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen12 server?

The NVIDIA A100 80GB GPU is not supported on the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen12 server. It is advisable to refer to the official documentation for a list of compatible GPUs, such as the NVIDIA H200 NVL and H100 NVL models. [community thread]

Why is the HPE NS204i-u controller not detected during the Windows Server 2022 installation on a DL380 Gen12?

The HPE NS204i-u is an NVMe OS-boot device, which may not be recognized by Intelligent Provisioning due to its optimization for traditional Smart Array controllers. To successfully install Windows Server 2022, it is recommended to use a Microsoft ISO, as this method allows the OS to recognize the NS204i-u volume directly. [community thread]

What should I do if the Bit Error Test fails on my DL380 Gen12 server?

First, ensure that your CPU and DIMM are compatible with the server model. Next, update the BIOS to the latest version, as this can fix potential false failures. If the issue persists, try testing the DIMM in a different slot or replace it with a known good DIMM to determine if the original is faulty. [community thread]

What issues are commonly reported with HPE Gen12 servers?

Users have noted occasional alerts for nonvolatile memory corruption and difficulties with iLO security features, which have become more restrictive. While these issues can arise, they are not indicative of a widespread problem across all Gen12 servers. If persistent faults occur, it is advisable to pursue replacements or escalate the matter with your supplier. [community thread]
