T320 - Boot Failed
Hi,
got a message that my PE T320 server was down.
Message on screen is
Boot Failed: Windows Boot Mananger
No boot device available
Please ensure compatible bootable media is available/
Use the system setup program to change the boot mode as needed.
Strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for system setup, F11 for boot Manager
Already tried F1, and shutting down the power and reboot - still no reboot.
What's next to try to fix this?

Hi, first we need to check out what kind of RAID controller you are using, then also check out the virtual disk and the physical disk status within. I'm hoping the link below may help.

Looks like 2 physical drives which is part of RAID 5 group is either removed or failed. As you have 2 RAID 5 virtual disk from same disk group both virtual disks are shown as failed. This could be the reason for boot failure. Can you check whether those drives are present on the server?
