Topic: Server no boot

[smnirosh]

I check first with our old server before i deploy it without no error. I followed hp’s short explanations but no error detective processes.

[Stefano]

please, give us more details? from which shell are you trying to remove that rpm?
remember we can't see your monitor, so please be verbose

your best bet is to reinstall from scratch and restore from backup; trying to make it work again could just be a loss of time

[smnirosh]

reinstall from scratch means ?

[Stefano]

insert SME's cd into your server and reinstall, do a new installation.. then restore your backup

[smnirosh]

now i checked with gparted of rescue linux disk.
sda1 - has data
sda2 - unallocated
sdb1 - has data
sdb2 - has data

i thing raid is not synced perfectly. Would it be a chance for us or is it useless clue?

[Stefano]

the last one..
you said you've an HW raid.. it seems that your rescue disk can't see it and so just see your 2 hds..

you're loosing time, believe me

[Jean-Philippe Pialasse]

check history

history|grep -i hpvsa

[Stefano]

check history

history|grep -i hpvsa

if he can't mount the original fs and chroot in it, he won't get any result

Completely.

OP said:

The server configured as hardware raid(raid1).

That's not what he is seeing now.

Have you touched anything in the BIOS for the RAID card ?

[ReetP]

Ahhhh

So, don't use this driver unless you do it at install.

(I just had a quick search at HP for 'hpvsa')

[Stefano]

doh..

reinstall and restore
good luck

[smnirosh]

no touch any settings. just installed the driver.
I loaded gparted GUI and it allowed me to select my two hdd drives. 500GB and 500GB i could able to see.
