Hi sreeni,
search for the disk from the command menu
"Main Menu: Enter command or menu > SEA"

Check both the primary and secondary paths are showing there (If mirrored).
If it is showing the path,boot with the specified path.If it is not booting with primary disk , boot with secondary disk path.

"in Menu: Enter command or menu >BO "

[S.N.S]

Pls try booting with the 'ALT' path - it should work. You 'PRI' disk would have an issue - check -ioscan after u boot; follow the standards steps to ascertain a faulty disk/path.

Hi Sreeni,

IODC ENTRY_INIT failed. Error Status: -8

This error points to IO error of boot disk.
Check for alternate boot device path and try.

Can you post the forward progress (fpl) and system event logs (sel) from the MP?
