My server is not booting. what should i do - HP ProLiant ML370 G5 Server

Select DVD/ Pendrive as the boot drive.
insert boot dvd/ boot pendrive and restart the server.
It should prompt for Boot option from DVD/PD.

select the appropriate option and start installing the OS

Its a Network boot process ( Earlier Boot Rom ) Disable in BIOS setup or Ignore it, install OS and use server.

you can change it to boot on your server if you want

chk for boot sequence in the BIOS and chk the hard disk is detecting in the BIOS

Make sure the BIOS is fully updated from the HP website. Most DL3-series servers supported booting from an external USB cd, try F10 or F12 at boot in order to bring up a boot menu.

Have you checked boot device options....from BIOS
Use F9 during boot to goto ROM-BIOS and change Boot device option to CDROM/DVDROM.
Insert Boot media or DVD-Win2003, to DVD-ROM device..
reboot Server, try now
If still issue.. Check to boot Server using some other media..
if other cd media works, then it could be DVD-Win2003 faulty, otherwise download firmware for CD/DVDROM and upgrade it and check if DVDROM works, otherwise you have to contact Dell Support..

I don't have any experience with this product but I am 99.9% sure your problem is with Option 67. This path is from the root as defined for the TFTP server, i.e. root for the TFTP service is not the same as root for the server proper.

Most likely it should be something like:

\Boot\GhostNBF.vfd

Im pretty sure there is a usb boot option on mine - try going on the dell website and installing the latest BIOS firmware, you may notice this option become available as well as being up to date!

hv u tried booting from other CDs .
if u can boot from other CDs , then this 2003 CD is botched , change it.

you need to set the boot device order. Usually F12.
or you can go to bios with F2 or F10.

your cd-rom is wrong you need the Instalation and Server Management CD. I think it's possible to download this cd at their site.

good luck
