5.3.6 Resetting the boot retry counter
The boot retry counter is decremented from its preset value every time the
POST watchdog initiates a system reboot. When the value has reached ’0’, the
system will shut down and power off.
Viewing the boot retry counter
The current boot retry counter status is available in the BIOS:
▶
Enter the BIOS.
▶
Select the Server Mgmt menu.
▶
Under Boot Retry Counter the current number of remaining boot attempts
is displayed. The value is further decremented with every failed boot attempt
or system reboot resulting from critical system errors.
▶
Exit the BIOS.
Resetting the boot retry counter
The boot retry counter should be reset to its original value concluding every
service task.
Please note, if the customer does not know about the original boot retry
values:
If the system boots up and no further errors occur within 6 hours after
that successful boot attempt, the boot retry counter will automatically be
reset to its default value. Please take into account, that the specified
number of boot attempts can only be determined after this period of
time.
If the customer knows about the original boot retry values, proceed as follows
to reset or configure the boot retry counter:
Resetting the boot retry counter in the BIOS
▶
Enter the BIOS.
▶
Select the Server Mgmt menu.
▶
Under Boot Retry Counter press the [+] or [-] keys to specify the maximum
number of boot attempts (0 to 7).
