CIMC and Configure Boot Order

Chojin

I'm installing CUCM on a blade and so far that's been going fine. I can access CIMC, VM Ware and the CUCM is set up and working. The problem I ran into is in CIMC I can't configure  the Boot Order to use the Raid Array. There is a field for HDD, but there is nothing under it. I can go to KVM and tell it to boot from the Raid Array there. And I can change the boot order in <f2> Setup, but it only saves it once then reverts to the shell. This doesn't seem like it should be all that complicated, is there some trick to adding the Raid Array so I can tell the BIOs --  Configure Boot Order to use it?

 

Thanks.

You just put "HDD" or something in the boot order field and then mark the virtual drive you are trying to boot from as the "boot" drive in the "Virtual Drives" tab in CIMC under the storage controller.

 

When you install VMware you tell it which virtual drive you want to install to and this should be the same virtual drive the server boots from.

 

If you are still having issues, post screen captures of where you are at and what you are seeing.
