Re: System will not boot when the SAN storage device is attached
Is that the boot order in BIOS settings? I only have 1)CDROM/DVD 2)FLOPPY 3)Hard disk0 4) PXE.
Is that you are referring or can you please point the step-step in the BIOS settings so that I can verify. I have been working 12hrs a day since 3 days and didn't know where it is going wrong?
On one of the nodes, there is one fiber card bad, and that node is rebooting fine when the server is attached to storage.
Can you please provide the steps in BIOS, to check the SAN controllers are not above the hard disk?
Thank you and waiting for the response.

Re: System will not boot when the SAN storage device is attached
In the x3850's guide it says they are x8 Elec cards. Any one has any idea?
Thank you

Re: System will not boot when the SAN storage device is attached
Was the boot order in the BIOS changed in the recent past ?
>> When I take off the cards on slot and reboot when the storage is
>> attached, then it reboots fine.
This looks odd.
Can this be a problem with the x8 Elec cards ???
just guessing.
Regards,
Murali

Re: System will not boot when the SAN storage device is attached
I don't know that particular server brand BIOS, but my best guess is that it's set to boot first from the pci storage controller (in this case the FC Cards)
Another option that i'm pretty sure will work is to enter the FC Cards configuration utility during post and make sure the BIOS is disabled on each card, that way the system will NOT BOOT from them..
Thanks a lot!
