Would you verify if the server is up to date on BIOS, iDrac, and the H700? Then lastly would you confirm the version of OpenManage you are using. The server being really out of date can start to cause inconsistencies, as well as errors.
Now if the server is several updates behind these then we will need to walk the server up to current, and not just jump to the most recent, as that can cause issues as well.
The BIOS is 3.0.0, H700 is 12.3.0, OM is 8.1; I'm not inclined to update BIOS unless a specific issue is identified and fixed. I realize they are not current. Another check I did was to manually start the DSM SA services after the system had been up and running. Again it crashed a few minutes after these services started.
I uninstalled the OM, rebooted and it came up without issue. I reinstalled OM and rebooted again. So far no issues. I'm going to let it run for a while, then perform a few more reboots to verify if any issues come back.
Thanks for taking a look. Perhaps there was something in the OM install that was corrupted. Two othe identical systems have not had any issues.

Let me know what you see.
