It sounds as though your upgrade wasn't so successful. I had that happen one time and it just took a while for it to come back up as it was doing an internal drive scan.

You could also try powering it off and wait a minute and try and bring it on again. If the issue persists, call support.

I have registered a case with hp support. They gave a ftp site to download the P4x00 G2 quick restore CD. But i tried using the CD but the recovery failed with error "hda - medium error" on my both the nodes.

But both the nodes are working fine with 8.1.
is there any separate receovery cd for p4500 boxes ?
