Symptoms

Optane Boot Error

If your Optane acceleration-equipped system experiences a forced shutdown, you may receive an error message upon restarting the system: The operating system did not shut down cleanly. Reconstructing Cache Metadata.

See Figure 1. Below:

Screenshot of error message

Figure 1: The operating system did not shut down cleanly error.


Cause

Working within the design specification

When an Optane accelerated system experiences a forced shutdown, the drive Metadata between the SATA and Optane drive no longer matches.

Resolution

Working within the design specification

When a forced shutdown occurs, on the next reboot the Metadata must be reconstructed. This happens automatically and should not take an excessive amount of time.

The error message shown in Figure 1 above is an example of the rebuild process.

Once the Metadata rebuilds, the system should boot as expected.
 

NOTE: If the system fails to boot after the metadata rebuilds or the rebuild fails, there is an issue with the hard drive or corruption of the operating system. Run ePSA diagnostics and if required, troubleshoot the operating system. If ePSA diagnostics fail, contact Dell Technical Support for further assistance using the following link: Dell Technical Support Contact
