Poweredge R620 No boot device available
My server just crashed. Stopped responding and I powercycled it through iDRAC. It did not come back up and on checking console I see it saying PXE-e61 media test failure check cable. No Boot Device available. If I power cycle it goes through a screen that says "Foreign configurations found on adapter", see attached. I have data that is not backed up. I haven't tried to go to the system setup, or but idrac shows me the attached. Please help.

Hello
You can read about foreign configurations in the controller manual. You have disks that have gone into a foreign status. There are a lot of disk errors, and data is likely corrupt or lost. You should contact a data recovery company if there is important data that is not backed up. If you want to try to recover the disks yourself then I suggest reading about foreign configurations in the controller manual.

If the PERC supports logging you should also get a controller/TTY log before relevant information about what happened is overwritten.
Thanks
