UCSM unable to monitor storage on blade after Firmware update

I'm getting the following fault on two of my B200-M3 blades after doing a firmware infrastructure autoinstall from 2.2(1d) to 2.2(3b).  Firmware update was successful on everything, so I'm not sure why something happened to the blades.

The UCSM is claiming it can't talk to the SAS card, however the card is indeed working fine, blade boots up and works no problem.  Any ideas?  It seems it just can't monitor the disks for some reason, and I don't get why it's only on two of the blades...

What version CIMC, BIOS does your server run ?

Did you try a CIMC reset ?

I disassociated the server and pulled it out of the chassis and then plugged it back in.  Not sure if that would have the same effect as CIMC reset...

Answer was to disassociate server from profile, remove server from default pool, yank it out of the chassis, put it back in, re-add to default pool, re-associate with service profile.

As they say on the IT Crowd, "Did you try forcing an unexpected reboot?"

Try CIMC reset and if that didn't work Disassociate and reassociate the Service profile should clear the error.
