新8205-E6D（740）启动问题
新到了两台P740（8C，32G），根据需求要安装AIX6.1，目前手上的版本是6107，手头有6108的TL，和SP，打算安装完后升级到6108。目前系统有一个比较奇怪的现象，在740启动的时候偶尔报
No OS image was detected by firmware.
At least one disk in the bootlist was not found yet.
Firmware is now retrying the entries in the bootlist.
Press ctrl-C to stop retrying.
然后关闭服务器，重新启动，又可以正常引导，偶尔重启又会出现上述问题。
以下贴出2个报错图片。
使用ctrl+C后
机器的信息如下：

问题已经处理，升级了SAS卡的微码，重启了10+次，再没出现找不到硬盘的情况。
印证了：New Fcode 290 resolving very intermittent boot issue where the disk drive (SAS boot source) may not be found. This issue has been experienced only in model "D" systems。收起

继续翻了一下IBM的资料，因为启动的问题，在SMS中SAS磁盘会看不到磁盘，怀疑是SAS卡也可能是故障点。
机器的SAS是PCIe x4 Planar 3Gb SAS Adapter.
lscfg -vl sissas0
是57C7的卡
怀疑其微码也是问题，看到IBM对于其最新的固件有这么一句话
New Fcode 290 resolving very intermittent boot issue where the disk drive (SAS boot source) may not be found. This issue has been experienced only in model "D" systems.
正好这个740是E6D的型号，打算明天和800询问一下。收起

新机器，打800多问问没什么坏处，先升微码吧午夜幽魂 发表于 2013-6-16 11:23

因为机器是5X9的服务，只能等周一再和800联系了。
不过正好想了一个问题，E6D算是比较新的型号了，查了一下红皮书，里面对于操作系统的要求是：
IBM AIX Version 6.1
The following minimum levels of AIX Version 6.1 support the Power 720 and Power 740:
AIX V6.1 with the 6100-08 Technology Level and Service Pack 2, or later
AIX V6.1 with the 6100-07 Technology Level and Service pack 7, or later (planned
availability March 29, 2013)
AIX V6.1 with the 6100-06 Technology Level and Service pack 11, or later (planned
availability March 29, 2013)
正好在客户现场装的是6107，但SP应该是不到SP7的，所以目前考虑的是周一去现场先升级到6108的SP2，再做进一步的打算。
不过根据红皮书里面写的，对于6107-SP7，但安装的不到SP7，能启动系统，偶尔重启就会出现上面的NO os image，比较困惑。收起

兄弟仔细看下微码说明文档！！！
Due to a firmware update issue reported from the field, system firmware level AL770_048 / FW770.20 has been placed on HOLD in Fix Central.
Before you can install this firmware level, you must first contact your IBM field service team to determine if mandatory ECA 331 is required for your hardware.

看来和我想的一样，目前以下载了最新的微码：01AL770_048_032，打算周一去客户现场升级一下再看。收起
