 B50 not booting after powercycle Hi, We have some IBM b50 in production in our datacenter. Sometimes the servers hang completely and we have no other choise to powercycle then. We can powercycle a server and it boots normally afterwards. This works a couple of times, but after a few powercycles, the server stays off and we have to push the button to bring it up again. This is very annoying because we have to drive to the datacenter and push the button. Has anybody an idea what happens? Because the powercycle works a couple of times and suddenly it won't come up after a powercycle and we had to push the button. Is this a setting somewhere? Regards, X9230      |

Second, look at the current version of B50 microcode. If you are back-level at all, there is a chance that the power cycle issue was address in a more recent microcode fix. BV |

If the system is crashing, you need to find out why and fix it. Steve |
