Today I completed a routine firmware update for one of my two Supermicro x10SL7-F motherboards - simply going from BIOS v3.3 to v3.4 using the IPMI interface - everything seemed to go fine until the machine restarted and now I am caught in an infinite reboot loop
The board displays the usual Supermicro logo and then looks like it's passing off to the UEFI Windows Boot menu - but never makes it.
I was able to get it to boot just once to the OS about an hour ago when I had the box in my office here - then I unplugged and moved it back to it's normal spot in our rack and reconnected everything and no dice - it simply goes round and round.
I have done everything I can think of from a CMOS reset to a battery change to reseating RAM to even forcing a reapplication of the BIOS using their SUM tool.
Everything was working great for months before today. The IPMI FW is current (Redfish 3.88) What else can I try?
Hoping you can make a suggestion or two as this machine looks like it’s in real trouble.
Cheers
