What is the release date of your install media?

Check the console settings from EFI

Shell> conconfig

[Hoang Chi Cong_1]

Thank you for your very fast answer.
The install media is the new one (Foundation Operating System 11i V2)

Also the server is a new server!

Pls advise me

[Ramesh S]

Hi

You could check with other media if you have..

Or

check this media on any other server..

Best Regards,
Ramesh

"new one" says nothing about the date ... read it from the media.

As advised, check console setting.

[Hoang Chi Cong_1]

Hi all,

OK, I will check for the media install.
BTW, this error happen when I tried to update firmware for the Cells.

Before update firmware, I still can do install!

Thanks

[Torsten.]

MP:CM> sysrev

Hi Torsten,

Please refer to the attachment.

Thanks and regard,

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

Firmware looks ok to me, how about the "conconfig"?

[Torsten.]

just to be sure - you are working on the serial console (MP)?

[Hoang Chi Cong_1]

Hi Torsten,

What a pity! I was out of office now...
Will inform you for the conconf output.
Yes, I connect from MP serial port.

Thanks and regard,
