hi all

my new p5 570 server hung at c7004091 in boot process.

i checked p5 info center and got the content as the following.

C700 4091 The system power on has reached a standby state.
If you performed a service action or recovery procedure, and C700 4091
is still displayed, activate the partition. Activating the partition
changes the system to an operating state and clears the SRC.

does anybody know what "activating the partition" is for? we do not use
the partiontion at all.

any idea?

Really silly question but...

....is the power light blinking slowly? If so, that means your server is
in standby mode. To turn it on, you press the power button and the
light should go solid. If you press and hold the button too long, the
machine will go into system dump mode, and the power light will be
blinking rapidly.

Ah! Give me the days when these systems had power buttons, reset
buttons, and a key for SERVICE mode !!!!

the real reason for booting hang is that our server is set for HMC, but
actually we do not have hmc at all.
after checking the lcd, i found the hmc=0. so i went into ASMI and
recover the syste to factory default. the server is booting correctly
without any question.

thanks,

Frank
