Endurance Characteristics During the CE Boot Process During the CE boot process, you can use Endurance Manager to view the state transitions of the Endurance server components. Until the CE boot completes, the only redirected keyboard is the one attached to the IOP that is serving the boot request. During CE boot, if you must access the CE (for example, to select a multi-boot option): • Use the keyboard on the IOP that is servicing the boot request. (If you do not know which IOP is servicing the boot request, use Endurance Manager on either IOP to see which keyboard is redirected. Then, use that keyboard.) • If a keyboard is attached to the CE, use that keyboard. If a non-mirrored SCSI device or both members of a mirror set are not present (cannot be located for any reason) when the CE operating system boots, that device remains unavailable to the CE operating system. Later, if the device becomes available, you must reboot the CE operating system for the device to be accessible from the CE operating system. Similarly, if both adapters for a redirected network device are unavailable to the CE operating system during boot, the device remains unavailable to the CE operating system. Later, if the device becomes available, you must reboot the CE operating system for the device to be accessible from the CE operating system. 2-10 HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide
