Re: Cell Boot is blocked
Check sysrev also to see if the values are ok and are not zero.
I had a very similar situation with the cell like this where I had to change the backplane.

Re: Cell Boot is blocked
Cell 1 shows invalid, almost the same symptoms I had.
Have you reseated cell 1? if yes
Have you powered off the system, pulled the 4 power cables off waited 2 minutes and repowered the box?

SolutionHi Shashi Kanth,
you can boot a cell which just stopped at BIB (Boot is Blocked) with the MP:CM> BO command.
However, there might be a reason / issue which caused to stop the cell.
E.g. in your case the two cells have different firmware. - They will not work in the same partition.
Kind Regards
Holger
