PXE E53

Question

Hi and thanks for any help you can give!

After installing a new UCS 51 Raid card and trying to boot, I received the following screens:

LSI Corporation MPT SAS BIOS
MPTBIOS-6.06.0.02 (2006.04.05)
Copyright 2000-2007 LSI Corporation.
Integrated RAID exception detected:
Volume (00:130) is currently in state INACTIVE/OPTIMAL
Enter the LSI Corp Configuration Utility to investigate!
Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Corp Configuration Utility.

The next message that did cause a halt was:

broadcom base code pxe-2.1 v1.04 client mac addr 00 15 c5 f5 d4 64 GUID

DHCP

pxe-e53 no boot file name received

pxe m0f exiting broadcom pxe rom

Any ideas?

Thanks

So Ctrl-C did not bring up the RAID configuration screen? Seems normal for not hitting Ctrl-C......

If you had an existing raid on there, pretty sure you have to go into the Ctrl-C at least once to import the existing raid.

I hate to give advice on RAID controllers I am unfamilure with. Are you attempting to get to an existing RAID?  Like you replaced a failed card?
