Suggested action
If the EFI disk read error displays in the console, clean the logical server and retry the service
request by performing the following steps:
1. Erase the disk used by the target server for deployment.
a. Make sure all hosts are in the same zone then perform a LUN clean-up: Log in to the
storage management server (HP P6000 Command View Software or HP 3PAR StoreServ
Management Console, etc.)
b. Unpresent the host associated with the vdisks and delete the vdisks.
c. Create the new vdisks with the required size and RAID level and present the vdisks to the
respective hosts.
2. Deactivate the logical server associated with the target server.
a. From the HP Matrix Operating Environment menu, click Tools→HP Matrix OE Visualization.
b. Select Logical Server from the Perspective drop-down menu.
c. Select the logical server.
d. Click Tools→Logical Servers→Deactivate.... and click the Deactivate button to continue
deactivating the logical server.
e. Monitor the status of the task by selecting Report→Logical Server Job Status.
f. Wait for the task to complete successfully before continuing to the next step.
3. Delete the logical server.
a. Select the appropriate deactivated logical server.
b. Click Delete→Delete Logical Server... and click the Delete button to continue deleting the
logical server.
4. Move the target server from the IO maintenance pool to the desired server pool.
a. From the HP Matrix Operating Environment menu, click Tools→Infrastructure Orchestration.
b. Click the Servers tab. Make sure the servers are not being used by checking the “Usage”
column.
c. Move the servers under the “Maintenance” pool to the desired server pool by using the
“Modify Pool” option.
5. Recreate the service request.
Matrix infrastructure orchestration provisioning failure on Integrity blades BL870c i2,
BL890c i2, BL870c i4, and BL890c i4
Matrix infrastructure orchestration provisioning fails on Integrity server blades BL870c i2, BL890c
i2, BL870c i4, and BL890c i4. The serverboot.physical.wait.seconds in the
hpio.properties file and the INTEGRITY_POWERON_WAITTIME in the lsa.properties
file are not set to the right values according to the blade models. The wait time consists of waiting
for the Integrity blade to boot completely before infrastructure orchestration or Matrix OE logical
server management executes the power off. This setting is required to prevent the potential QLogic
HBA card EFI/FW from being corrupted while the Virtual Connect profile is being written to or
removed from the NVRAM.
