If the intended boot device is not correctly specified in the boot sequence,
add it to the boot sequence using the SMS menus. If the intended boot
device cannot be added to the boot sequence, go to step 3.
If you are attempting to boot from the network, go to step 2.
If you are attempting to boot from a disk drive or CD-ROM, go to step 3.
– Are the IP parameters correct?
– Attempt to “Ping” the target server using the SMS “Ping” utility.
2. If the checkpoint F05 or F5B is displayed for an extended time, there may be a
problem with the integrity of the boot image.
Try to boot and run standalone diagnostics against the system, particularly
against the intended boot device. If the diagnostics are successful, it may be
necessary to perform an operating system specific recovery process, or
reinstall the operating system.
3. If attempting to boot from a Harddisk, CDROM, or Tape drive:
a. Try a different CD/Tape (unless booting from Harddisk)
b. Verify proper SCSI bus termination
c. Replace SCSI cable
d. It is possible that another attached SCSI device is causing the problem.
Disconnect any other SCSI devices attached to the same controller as the
one the boot device is attached to and retry the boot operation. If this is
successful, one of the devices removed is causing the problem, re-attach
devices one by one and retry the boot operation until the problem recurs and
replace the device that caused the problem.
e. Replace SCSI adapter (if drive is attached to a card rather than the system
board)
f. Replace SCSI drive
g. It is possible that another installed adapter is causing the problem.
Remove all installed adapters except the one the boot device is attached to,
try to boot the standalone diagnostics from a CDROM drive attached to the
scsi controller on the system board, and run the diagnostics against the
system.
If this is successful, re-install adapters (and attached devices as applicable)
that were removed, one at a time, and run the standalone diagnostics
against the system.
h. Replace riser card
i. Replace system board
4. If attempting to boot from a Network controller:
a. Power Off then On and retry the boot operation
b. Verify the network connection (network could be down)
c. Verify that IP parameters are correct
d. Try to “Ping” the target server
e. Have network administrator verify the server configuration for this client
