Bug ID: 30658955
Issue: After updating Oracle Dual Port 10/25GbE Ethernet Controller LOM from 20.8.x to 214.2.271.5, its NCSI firmware goes into INIT state and requires an AC power cycle or the Oracle ILOM command hwdiag system info to initialize it.
Affected Hardware: Oracle Server X7-2, Oracle Dual Port 10/25GbE Ethernet Controller
Affected Software: Oracle Server X7-2 Software 3.1.0, Oracle Dual Port 10/25GbE Ethernet Controller-LOM Firmware 214.2.271.5
Workaround: Oracle Dual Port 10/25GbE Ethernet Controller-LOM Firmware 214.2.271.5 Caveats:
After updating Oracle Dual Port 10/25GbE Ethernet Controller LOM from 20.8.x to 214.2.271.5, its NCSI firmware goes into INIT state and requires an AC power cycle or the Oracle ILOM command hwdiag system info to initialize it.
To perform an AC power cycle, you can unplug and then insert all server power cords while in Standby mode, or run the Oracle ILOM deep_power_cycle command from the Oracle ILOM SP console.
For example, to run the Oracle ILOM deep_power_cycle command, type:
-> stop -f /system
Are you sure you want to immediately stop /System (y/n)? y
Stopping /System immediately
-> ls /System/ power_state
/System
Properties:
power_state = Off
-> set /System/ deep_power_cycle=true
Set 'deep_power_cycle' to 'true' [false]
Connection was aborted.

Refer to the server Installation Guide for more information on controlling system power and power cables.
To run the Oracle ILOM HWdiag command, type:
-> start /sp/diag/shell Are you sure you want to start /SP/diag/shell (y/n)? y -> start /sp/diag/shell diag> hwdiag system info
Refer to the Oracle ILOM User's Guide for more information on running the x86 HWDiag Tool within the Oracle ILOM Diag Shell.
