Solution 2373439.1 : Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance: After ZS3-2 Reboot, Error Message Is Seen "Can not boot to ILOM, use 'net flash' to reflash ILOM"

Applies to:

Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-2 - Version All Versions and later
7000 Appliance OS (Fishworks)

Symptoms

The ZS3-2 was booted after a DIMM replacement and the following error messages was seen :-

Can not boot to ILOM, use 'net flash' to reflash ILOM.

The ZS3-2 then would boot. Seemly this would indicate the ILOM/SP is corrupted and would need re-flashing.

Changes

Maintenance for DIMM replacement was carried out before the boot.

Cause

Upon inspection, it was found that the front panel display was disconnected.

Solution

Re-seated cable to front panel and problem was resolved - without replacing motherboard.

NOTE: If you still need to re-flash the SP/ILOM, the flash file is not easily available and therefore, for the ZS3-2, a replacement System Board (MB) would be needed.
