Cmechtilde, It is possible that the issue is the firmware, as you are a couple updates back. You can find the current update here. What I would suggest is to power down the server and move the jumper on the motherboard over to clear the NVRam, as seen below, after moving the jumper then power the server to clear the NVRam. Once cleared then power the server to the OS and then run the update.   [IMAGE]  Let me know if that resolves the issue. 
Hi, Out of the blue, during a reboot, i saw that the BMC was displaying a communication failure on our PowerEdge T110ii.  - I was wondering, failure to communicate with what exactly ? (not sure about the architecture of this) - any clue to why such an error does occur ? - is the solution to this issue to reinstall the BMC firmware ?  If so, is there s special procedure to follow? Thanks, any help or comments would be appreciated !  :o) Denis
