  • 1.  ILO Amplifier 2.0 - cannot add vCenter

    Posted Dec 02, 2021 08:55 AM

    Hi, I've rebuild our 1.95 ILO Amplifier Pack appliance because of the serious vulnerability in it and most previous versions as stated here:
    https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-hpesbgn04189en_us

    I've tried both a clean build with config and clean build with a restore from a 1.95 backup (In-place upgrade from 1.95 to 2.0 is not supported) but cannot add our vCenter. Every time I try I just get a non-helpful "Some error occured while connecting to vCenter"

    I'm just wondering, 1) has anyone else seen this or is using version 2.0 with success and 2) like me were you completely unaware about version 2.0 because the way you check for upgrades is from within the ILO amplifier GUI?

    Thanks

    Did you solve this? I'm having the same issue.
    Going from 1.95 to 2.12

    I think it was the fact that HPE released the update in a hurry and it wasn't yet supported by vSphere. I think an upgrade to 7.0.3d resolved things (as in; allowed me to add vCenter in Amplifier) but I'm currently running 7.0.3h and the iLO Amplifier 2.16 without issue.

    Good luck

    Thought I should follow up if someone else sees this in the future.

    For us the problem was that newer version of iLO Amp handles .local DNS-addresses with mDNS and therefore didn't resolve the actual address of vCenter. Error did not indicate this but I realized when going thru the logs.
