Issue:
Sometimes the ILO IP Address doesnt get changed/refreshed after applying the changes on "Enclosure Bay IP Addressing" page.

In the above screenshot, the IP of the ILO of Bay2 is configured as 16.190.0.162, but sometimes the ILO (IP in the last column) would not acquire the IP configured. 
Solution:
Open the ILO of the blade and then to Administration tab on the ILO window and click on network on the left pane.  Try changing the IP and click the Apply button.  That worked for me, and can see the

Steps to FIX:

This error indicates CBS store is corrupted and is related to a corrupted update package.

To find which package is corrupted and to find which files to be repaired.  You need to download and install the System Update Readiness Tool and run this tool which generate logs in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS directory. Open CheckSUR.log of the following format

==================================================

Note the KB number and download the package directly For eg., http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2488113

Download .msu file and change the extension to .cab and on extracting .cab, there will be another .cab file in it.  On opening the cab file, We can find many files in there.  Find the files to be repaired and copy them and store it in a folder.

Now these files are to be copied to %windir%\servicing\packages.

Now we have to acquire permissions to copy to replace these files (which are owned by SYSTEM).

click start, type "cmd".  Right click on cmd.exe and click on "Run as Administrator".

Execute the following commands to acquire ownership and permissions:

=================================================
takeown /f %windir%\servicing\packages\Package_for_KB2488113_SP1~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0.mum
takeown /f %windir%\servicing\packages\Package_for_KB2488113_SP1~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0.cat
icacls %windir%\servicing\packages\Package_for_KB2488113_SP1~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0.mum /setowner <username>:F
icacls %windir%\servicing\packages\Package_for_KB2488113_SP1~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0.cat /setowner <username>:F
=================================================

Now, we can copy those stored files to %windir%\servicing\packages

We can rerun System Update Readiness Tool again and check CheckSUR.log to check errors are resolved.  We should find "No errors detected" at the end of the file.
