Dear PrinceKufreAkai 

Thanks for you p[rovided information, as per your given information, it seems that there is RAID controller issue or VD might be not bootable disk. Please restart the server, press F10 for intelligent Provisioning. after booting to intalligent provisioning, go to perform maintanance. go to HPE Smart storage administrator(HPE SSA). and check the VD status. also check VD bootable status by Going to the Smart Array's main menu -> Select Set Bootable Logical Drive/Volume -> Choose the disk you want the server to boot to as the primary disk. If possible share array daigonestic status. Also try to share IML log by log into iLO Web console -> Integrated log. or from Intelligent provisioning -> Performe Maintanance -> Insight daignestics -> Integrated Maintanance Log tab -> save log.

Hope, I could provide you with clear and helpful instructions. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to help!

Have a great day!!
