HP DL360 G5 Failure

[ITGURU]

Came in this morning to a monitoring notification saying one of the servers down - HP DL360 G5 and amber light on the front power button.

On pressing the button I get 1 second of green LED, fans start to spin up then goes back to amber and off mode.

Pulled mains lead for 2 minutes, connected back, tried to power on, same as above.

 

No Health LEDs on the front or pull out info..

 

Any ideas?

Any lights flashing at the back? How many PSUs are installed?

Amber light means that it is standby mode, if it is the power light that is amber. If it's another light it will mean something different, can you get on the server with a monitor + mouse? If you can install HP System Management it should give you an exact reading of what is going on.

Single PSU network lights show activity on the rear of the server but the iLO is unreachable. I do have a single HP SIM server installed showing server as offline. Not going to get any output as doesn't boot or accessible via ilo as that management IP is unreachable too even with power applied to the server.

Was working fine and monitoring shows the ilo and server being unreachable at 4:30am this morning!

Possibly a PSU failure, but the procedure for checking through all of the possible causes is pretty long winded! Do you have a second compatible PSU in another server to try?

Indeed it was the PSU! I swapped it with another server I had 2 in as this one only had 1 and now it's booted.

 

IT is weird! PSU failure but still got LAN lights but no iLO light or access!

 

Never mind now back online! Thanks.

Glad that's got it. You should still be able to get hold of a PSU - check the model number and look online or speak to ICT Direct.
