After performing a Secure Erase operation on servers with HPE Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6) firmware v1.72 or v1.73, the IPv6 Link-Local address will change from the RFC4291 EUI method (utilizing the iLO MAC address) to the RFC7217 method.This change can cause connectivity problems for applications that depend on predictable IPv6 Link-Local addresses based on MAC addresses.
Any HPE ProLiant server, HPE Synergy compute module, HPE Edgeline Gen11 server, or HPE Alletra storage server with iLO 6 firmware v1.72 or v1.73.
A future version of iLO 6 firmware is targeted to return to the default to use the regular RFC4291 EUI method.Despite the IPv6 Link-Local address change, iLO 6 will continue functioning OK over the new RFC7217-based IPv6 address.As a workaround, perform any of the following options:Perform an iLO restore to manufacturing defaultsORSet RFC7217 enablement on and off and then reboot iLO 6 by performing the following steps:PATCH redfish/v1/Managers/1/EthernetInterfaces/1/ with the following payload: ""RFC7217Enabled": True"PATCH redfish/v1/Managers/1/EthernetInterfaces/1/ with the following payload: ""RFC7217Enabled": False"Reboot iLO
