Operating System

[Grayh]

How will I knwo if an OS is already running on the Blade server...

When I boot the server it directly takes me to the Shell> prompt and stops there.

Shalom,

uname -a

There may not be an OS installed or the boot configuration is trashed in some way if this is happening.

The Shell> prompt is the NVRAM EFI prompt , which probably means there is no OS installed (it would probably have booted the OS if it was there).

If I recall correctly issue the following command to look for devices with EFI boot partitions:

map -r

If all you see are devices with blkN: identifiers, then those are all disks without EFI boot partitions.

If you see something with a fsN: identifier such as this:

Shell> map -r
Device mapping table
fs0 : Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(1|0)/Usb(1, 0)/HD(Part1,SigC3072E18)

Then thats a bootable partition which probably has an OS on it (unless it's a bootable DVD in the DVD drive)

seems that, your autoboot option is not set. check like as Duncan said.

On my blade server when logged in through the Mp I see the following errors and system Led's

UID: OFF
Server Helth: Off
Internal Healthy: Stedy Green

[Duncan Edmonstone]

These aren't errors, they are chassis log messages.

I thought you said you were at the Shell> prompt?

To get back to the Shell> prompt press ctrl-b and then issue the command

co


Hope that helps...

Now I get the following

[1;33mShell> map -r
[0;37;40m [1;33mDevice mapping table [0;37;40m
[1mblk0 [0;37;40m : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E01CBFE772,Lun0)
[1mblk1 [0;37;40m : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E01CBCBF52,Lun0)

At the shell prompt when I type exit... It goes to the EFI and where I do not know what to do

[Grayh]

I thought the below were errors:

When the system is running normally what are the system LED and Health LED status

[Grayh]

I get the following on One of the blades


Shell> map -r
Device mapping table
blk0 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E01CBB2A52,Lun0)

and following on the other blades


Shell> map -r
Device mapping table
blk0 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(1|0)/Sas(Addr500000E01CBFE772,Lun0)
