Re: E3500 boot failure

Hello all,

I am having a hell of time with one of our E3500's.

Each time I try to boot it goes through its normal checks until it
displays the following error message:
(the fc cables have been checked and eliminated as a problem)

**************************************
No ONLINE status! please check H/W or cable.
Port #1 received soc-status=14 loop 0 is OFFLINE
Port #1 received soc-status=14 loop 1 is ONLINE
Invalid wwn number 21000020 3708cd0a
Boot device: net file and args:
Using Onboard Transceiver - Link Up.
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
**************************************

This problem started on Port #0 and I reinstalled the o/s after
reconfiguring the hardware with only 4 drives on port#1.
The o/s installed without problems and then would not boot.

You're booting off the FC drives right? What is the boot-device
set too? I'd have a guess that it's set too boot off the FC loop and
looking for a device with a wwn listed above, which, probably doesn't
exist (maybe that was the boot disk in a previous life and changed).
Figure out what it really should be and change the boot-device setting
in the nvram to correspond to the proper wwn.
