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.
