Bricked the UCS-E!

Simon G.

UCS-E140S-M1 + 2921 router

So I had some issues accessing my servers recently in my test environment and realized the KVM interface (either Java or the physical keyboard) would not take any keyboard input anymore... Impossible to go to BIOS settings, change boot options, mount USB drives, etc... Of course, I made sure the USB drive option was enabled in CIMC.

So I decided to upgrade CIMC's firmware (2.0 -> 3.0.2), update seemed to go well but troubles started after the reboot. The power LED if flashing amber continuously, I have no access to CIMC http GUI, SSH does not accept the username/password, the console hangs after entering username/password and the boot screen doesn't show up... Weirdly the UCS still responds to ping... I also noticed that if I remove the SD card storing CIMC, then I have access again to the boot screen but still no keyboard input...

Any hint?
