rp2470 stucks at evry boot

[Mahadev Pednekar]

Hi,
I have rp2470 when rebooted or powered off & on it gets stuck at "Early Boot vfp- System Alert" and when acknowledged it stucks at I/O and in front panel fault led flashes(red). The only solution is to access GSP, acknowledge SL error logs and reset the system. After this system boots properly. Does anybody has the solution for this issue ?.

Regards,
Mahadev

It sounds as if you may have a intermittent hardware problem. Next time it happens make a note of the message that comes on the console and the GSP error logs and open a call with HP.

Hi Patrick,
Today this problem came again and it was diagnosed that RAID controller 4Si installed in rp2470 made external storage ds2100 offline. So rectified by accessing irm utility and made disks online. Now it is working fine. Thanks for your suggestion.

Can you copy the full error message of your system to this ITRC? It should help other people to understand the problem and possible action to resolve the problem. The system alert message would be something like below, I think.
