HP NC373F PCI-E Multifunction 1000SX Gigabit Server Adapter - Manual (Page 37)

Troubleshooting 37
Symptoms:
Post installation fails to read the iSCSI install scripts from the iLO virtual floppy.
Resolution:
On the iLO web page select Virtual Devices > Virtual Media and then select Virtual Media Applet. In the
Virtual Floppy/USB Key box, disconnect and reconnect the Virtual Floppy Drive by first clicking disconnect
and then clicking connect.
Symptoms:
After successful OS installation, the server will not boot Linux from the iSCSI target.
Resolution:
Check the RBSU settings for the adapter that is connected to the target. On some servers and with some
versions of the BIOS, you may have to enable iSCSI boot or modify the boot controller order.
Symptoms:
During post-install of the OS for RH4 or SLES 9, the bnx2 rpm fails to install or the kernel tree cannot be
set up.
Resolution:
The kernel source rpm must be installed during the OS installation so that the bnx2 rpm and the iscsi-boot
rpm can be built during post install. Choose the kernel source rpm when installing the OS.
Symptoms:
On some BL685c servers with more than 4 Gb of memory, the system fails to finish the boot sequence
after a SLES 9 or SLES 10 install.
Resolution:
Add the parameter "numa=off" to the list of parameters given for "Boot options" or in the PXE
configuration file, depending on the type of install.
Symptoms:
During a SLES 9 install over a previous RH4 install a message of "cannot create swap partition" or
"running low on disk space" appears.
Resolution:
Reboot and restart the install. The problem will not occur on subsequent installs.
