• Problem: An nPartition does not boot to BCH and instead all cells
remain at a boot-is-blocked (BIB) state.
Causes: The partition has been reset to a ready for reconfig state, or
no valid core cell is available to the partition.
Actions: If the partition was reset to a ready for reconfig state, use
the service processor Command menu’s BO command to boot the
partition base boot-is-blocked (to allow it to boot to its BCH interface).
If no valid core cell was available to the partition when it booted,
check the power for all core cell choices (a cell might be powered off)
and power it on if needed.
Also review the chassis logs for the partition to search for any core
cell problems and failures.
