Problems booting a GS160
I have a problem booting a GS160. To make a long story short:
the machine consisted of 2 QBBs each with a I/O drawer. I reconfigured it to use only 1 QBB due to a problem with the HS-LINK between the QBBs.
The server will boot once in a while, but not always. It is really annoying.

Re: Problems booting a GS160
bad fiber
or
problems logging into the switch?
It works "once in a while". The server booted on the 6th attempt this time.

Re: Problems booting a GS160
First check logs on FC switches.
You can also check some things with WWIDMGR.
>>> init
>>> wwidmgr -show wwid -full
>>> wwidmgr -show reachability

Start off by upgrading your firmware. You're quite a few revisions behind... Latest is 7.3.
http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/firmware/readmes/gs320.html
I've not had experience booting from SAN on a Symmetrix, but with the latest XP/HDS models, you have to be on 7.3 to support boot from SAN...
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Re: Problems booting a GS160
This looks suspicious:
* * * Illegal Configuration with Memory Channel 2 [MC2] in Hose 2
* * * * Only MC2 devices can share same PCI Bus with MC2 Rev. 22
Do you have mixed or unsupported Memory Channel devices?
This *usually* indicates that either MC1 or MC1.5 are mixed with MC2 on the same PCI bus OR an unsupported MC2 hardware revision.
Since Fibre (pgd) is also on PCI 2 and it's complaining about an illegal configuration on PCI 2, why not pull the mc card(s) out and see if it stabilizes?

"Since Fibre (pgd) is also on PCI 2 and it's complaining about an illegal configuration on PCI 2, why not pull the mc card(s) out and see if it stabilizes?"
This may help, but also may not.
Anyway, I would do it.
Was this server a cluster member?
Is it still a cluster member or standalone?

Re: Problems booting a GS160
It is official day off in Denmark today, but I'll investigate the memorychannel and bad fiber problems on monday.

Re: Problems booting a GS160
You might also want to check whether pga0 is plugged in... If all the fibre HBAs go to off to the Symmetrix, I'd have thought you'd see a couple of dga2110... devices in "show dev".
Cheers,
Rob
