Server won't boot. Boot driver/RAID/PERC error.
Howdy,
I have an R640 that has some sort of HDD/Raid/Boot Loader/something error. When the server boots up I get this screen:
If I press any key on that screen, it takes me to this screen:
If I click on that item, it takes me to this screen:
I tried pressing F2 to go to BIOS, and it says it's loading, but I end up at the screens above. Same thing if I press F10 to go to the Lifecycle controller. I can't find anything that lets me get anywhere to change any settings or do anything.
Does this means I need to have the controller replaced like mentioned in the last screenshot? Is there any chance it's a setting somewhere I can change or an old version of something I can upgrade? Not sure how I'd do either of those since I seem to be stuck as far as what I can get the machine to do.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. The iDrac works, but that's about it.
Thanks.

I have a T130 with a similar message. Power off and check your drive connections if you have not already.
If you type X to proceed with the boot, the array will be degraded due to the drive that is in error. If you have redundancy, you may be able to continue booting and access your data.
In my case, I degraded the array and proceeded and one of my SSD's was not being detected (RAID 1).
I shutdown the server and checked the connections, then booted fine. I rebuilt the array, but the drive went offline again today, so I need to look into that further.

I decided to try pushing a BIOS update through the iDrac just to see if that would do anything. I'll see how that goes...
Well, that didn't seem to work. Seems like it's booting into a state that's keeping the LC busy so the BIOS won't install...
