Info
On an HPE SimpliVity host with remote Data At Rest Encryption (DARE) enabled, if the firmware is at a version lower than SVTSP-2023_1130 and it is upgraded to SVTSP-2024_0131, then the logical drives on the SimpliVity host will show a status of "Standby Offline" and become inaccessible. This does not occur when firmware is upgraded from 2023_1130 to 2024_0131.
This issue occurs due to a known issue in iLO 5 firmware. Refer to the following document for more information:
HPE Multiple Server Platforms - Logical Drives Connected to an Enterprise Secure Key Manage (ESKM) Server May Report a Status of Standby Offline After an iLO 5/6 Firmware Upgrade
Scope
All HPE Gen10 SimpliVity Hardware supporting DARE.
Resolution
If the logical drives go offline, follow these steps:
Go to Security > Encryption > Update Security Settings in the iLO page.
Uncheck the "Disable Weak Ciphers" and click on the "Apply" button. iLO will request a reset. Reset the iLO for the change to apply.
Reboot the server.
