On HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus platforms with Intel 3rd Generation Xeon Scalable Processors, and configured with any of the HPE NVIDIA Mellanox Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) ConnectX6-based network adapters with firmware version 20.34.1002 (or prior) listed in the Scope section below, and supporting both InfiniBand HDR and Ethernet modes; when a server reboot is performed after changing certain BIOS settings in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU), the boot fails, displaying a Red Screen of Death (RSOD) and Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception (UMCE) errors are logged against Processor 1. The following are some example cases where the errors are experienced: Changing the WorkloadProfile back and forth between GeneralPowerEfficientCompute and HighPerformanceCompute(HPC), followed by a reboot. While using GeneralPowerEfficientCompute, changing persistent memory (SCM) from Memory mode to AppDirect mode and back using ipmctl commands, followed by a reboot. The errors are not experienced if a cold boot is performed instead of a reboot, or the errors may not occur with multiple reboots, after the above changes. When this occurs, HPE iLO is using an incorrect Endpoint ID (EID) in a Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) message that is being sent. In the NVIDIA Mellanox network adapter, the PLDM AEN event receiver is not cleared on PCIe reset when the media type is MCTP over PCIe VDM, and asynchronous messages are sent over MCTP before endpoint discovery is done. This results in the HPE NVIDIA-based network adapter sending out a malformed MCTP packet that the Intel chipset cannot handle gracefully, which results in the Red Screen of Death (RSOD). Verification of the processor information To check and verify the processor information, perform the following steps: Go to iLO. Login to iLO Web. Go to System Information. Go to Processors.
