ESXI 服務器斷電之后一直 LOADING MODULE IPMI_SI_DRV 的解決辦法
今日家中忽然斷電，之后 ESXi 服務器就一直瘋狂轉，連接顯示器，發現原來一直沒有啟動。停留在ESXi Loading module ipmi_si_drv 是ipmi_si_drv模塊沒有加載。
於是各種找原因，google，看到了一個帖子如下，需要關閉這個模塊，但是連服務器都連接不到啊！
Today, when I restart a failed server, stuck in Loading module ipmi_si_drv ... , about 30 minutes boot is completed. avoid-vmware-esxi-loading-module-ipmi_si_drv First try setting IPMI to Shared in BIOS, if the option is available. When booting your installation media, press Shift O to display the boot arguments and add noipmiEnabled to the boot arguments. Remember to do the same once the installation/upgrade is complete. Manually turn off or remove the module by turning the option VMkernel.Boot.ipmiEnabled off in vSphere or using the commands below: # Do a dry run first: esxcli software vib remove –dry-run –vibname ipmi-ipmi-si-drv # Remove the module: esxcli software vib remove –vibname ipmi-ipmi-si-drv or try the following command in an unsupported shell connection: esxcfg-module -d ipmi_si_drv This disables the module although it still gets loaded. Use a -l argument to see what modules are enabled/loaded and check that your desired one is disabled. This appears to be persistent across a reboot.
后來又搜索到了 HP iLO is not responding 這篇文章：
When during boot of an HP ProLiant server you see the “iLO2 not responding. System health monitoring has been disabled.” error message you need to restart the HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) component in the server. iLo is a small, always on computer with a web interface to monitor and manage the hardware of the HP ProLiant servers. You can monitor the temperature sensors, fan speeds, power usage, and you can turn on and off the server remotely. So if you accidentally shut down the server or the server loses power and does not start automatically you can push the virtual power button on the web interface and turn on the server as if you would stand in front of it. To restart iLO in the HP ProLiant server you have to completely discharge all electricity from the server. shut down the server, disconnect all power cords from the electrical outlets, remove all power supplies from the server (you need to disconnect the power cord from the power supply too to remove the power supply), press and hold the power button on the front of the server for 15-30 seconds, re-install the power supplies, connect the power cables to the power supplies, connect the power cables to the electrical outlets, momentarily press the power button on the front of the server to turn on the server. This power reset does not erase any information of the iLO configuration, just restarts it. On the power on screen you should see the usual messages from iLO.
原來是因為斷電之后，iLO信息丟失，導致無法啟動iLO4，iLO4 的提示信息為：Warning iLO4 not responding解決方法要在 HP ProLiant 服務器中重新啟動iLO，必須完全從服務器中釋放所有電量：
1、關閉服務器； 2、從電源插座上拔下電源線； 3、從服務器上卸下所有電源（您也需要斷開電源線與電源的連接，以取消電源）； 4、按住服務器正面的電源按鈕15-30秒； 5、重新安裝電源； 6、將電源線連接到電源； 7、將電源線連接到電源插座； 8、暫時按服務器正面的電源按鈕打開服務器； 9、此電源復位不會清除iLO配置的任何信息，只需重新啟動它。
之后，一切恢復了，前后使用了2小時，希望可以為遇到同樣問題的人帶來幫助。
