ESXi AutoDeploy–HP G7 Servers Hang on Boot

When I was first starting to use AutoDeploy I ran into an issue where my blades would start to load ESX and then hang just like the screen below shows. Inspection of the logs turned up very little data, including no errors. It was just like the server ceased to exist. Turns out if you go to HP’s site and download the new OneConnect Flash 4.1.450.7 and update the firmware on your Emulex NICs that will fix the issue. Also, something to note is once you update the firmware you will need to go to the VMware site and download the new driver VIBs for your host to work.
