No boot devices Found

Hey guys,

we just got a little "Aclass server. I connected a dlt tape drive on it and when I do a sea bo, nothing comes up. Would like to know what I am missing here? I also connected a cdrom on it and it still does not find any bootable devices when doing an sea.

I cant bo pri as there is nothing on the disks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Johnson,

thank you for your quick response. The issue is that it is not finding any bootable devices...

I have connected a DLT tape drive and also a cdrom, and it does not find these devices..

Simply says, searching for bootable devices... Comes back with nothing.

I have tried doing a bo pri to boot from primary disks..I say Y to interact, brings me back to the main menu.. Very strange.

Power -off

I would prefer to check all the connection of the tape drive & you Disks.

PowerON - look for any any attention light

Looks to me you may hardware issue - it my suggestion only

you even try to unplug the "Hard drives"
connect only Tape drive - try too boot again give a try again
