Operating system boot problems flowchart
Symptoms:
- Server does not boot a previously installed
OS
- Server does not boot SmartStart
Possible causes:
- Corrupted OS
- Hard drive subsystem problem
- Incorrect boot order setting in RBSU
There are two ways to use SmartStart when
diagnosing OS boot problems on a server blade:
- Use iLO to remotely attach virtual devices
to mount the SmartStart CD onto the server blade.
- Use a local I/O cable and drive to connect
to the server blade, and then restart the server blade.
