An Overview of nPartition Boot and Reset

Troubleshooting Boot Issues

• Problem: An nPartition does not boot to BCH and instead all cells

remain at a boot-is-blocked (BIB) state.

Causes: The nPartition has been reset to the ready for reconﬁg

state, or no valid core cell is available to the nPartition.

Actions: If the nPartition was reset to the ready for reconﬁg state,

use the service processor Command menu’s BO command to boot the

nPartition base boot-is-blocked (to allow it to boot to its BCH

interface).

If no valid core cell was available to the nPartition when it booted,

check the power for all core cell choices (a cell might be powered off)

and power it on if needed.

Also review the chassis logs for the nPartition to search for any core

cell problems and failures.
