Detailed Boot Steps - IOPs
When in doubt about what component is failing, watch the AA 4000
boot process from POST of the server to the POST of the system,
and at the same time, look at what the error logs are recording, and
watch the Marathon Manager console. Follow it along to make sure
each step is getting completed, and if not find the component
preventing any of the steps.
Detailed Boot Step – CEs
The boot process of the CEs is not only different than the IOPs; it
does not even start until the IOPs are prepared to accept the CEs into
the array. The graphic below shows what the CE must go through to
join the domain or an array.
