Hey, I'm bit of a newbie on these machines but I'm eager to learn more. Just this week I ran into a problem at work with our PowerEdge 1800 Server.
2. We get 3 new larger HDDs and I backup all the partitions on the server using GParted.
This is where it gets interesting. The system boots fine to the utility partition when pressing F10 at startup, but when trying a normal startup the system hangs after Baseboard Management Controller is loaded. The diagnostics light in the front panel is steady blue.
I have also ran fixmbr, fixboot and bootcfg /rebuild on recovery console.
I will update on this tomorrow, but I would love if you guys got any tips or tricks that might get me forward. Thanks a lot in advance fellows.
I've been tinkering around trying this and that but no cake yet.
I did notice this in the startup though: "MPT boot rom no supported devices found"
Which would indicate that for some reason the server is refusing to boot from the RAID?
