Compute node start problems

Use this information to resolve compute node start problems.

Embedded hypervisor is not in the boot list​

Complete the following steps until the problem is solved.
  1. If the compute node has recently been installed, moved, or serviced, or if this is the first time the embedded hypervisor is being used, make sure that the device is connected properly and that there is no physical damage to the connectors.
  2. Check the Lenovo ServerProven website to validate that the embedded hypervisor device is supported for the compute node.
  3. Use the Setup utility to make sure that the embedded hypervisor device (USB key) is in the startup sequence. From the Setup utility, select Start Options.
  4. Check the IBM website for any service bulletins related to the embedded hypervisor and the compute node.
  5. Make sure that other software works on the compute node to ensure that the compute node is working properly.
