Endurance Characteristics During The Ce Boot Process - HP NetServer AA 6200 Administrator's Manual

Endurance Characteristics During the CE Boot Process

During the CE boot process, you can use Endurance Manager to view the state transitions of the
Endurance server components.
Until the CE boot completes, the only redirected keyboard is the one attached to the IOP that is
serving the boot request. During CE boot, if you must access the CE (for example, to select a
multi-boot option):
• Use the keyboard on the IOP that is servicing the boot request. (If you do not know which
IOP is servicing the boot request, use Endurance Manager on either IOP to see which
keyboard is redirected. Then, use that keyboard.)
• If a keyboard is attached to the CE, use that keyboard.
If a non-mirrored SCSI device or both members of a mirror set are not present (cannot be located
for any reason) when the CE operating system boots, that device remains unavailable to the CE
operating system. Later, if the device becomes available, you must reboot the CE operating
system for the device to be accessible from the CE operating system.
Similarly, if both adapters for a redirected network device are unavailable to the CE operating
system during boot, the device remains unavailable to the CE operating system. Later, if the
device becomes available, you must reboot the CE operating system for the device to be
accessible from the CE operating system.
