Full Discussion: Booting 2nd mirrored boot disk
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Booting 2nd mirrored boot disk Post 302881942 by rbatte1 on Friday 3rd of January 2014 05:04:49 AM

Physical disk loss then. Have you tried to boot with the disk physically removed? Some servers will attempt to boot the first disk they find.

What do you get on the console when you power on? There must be some POST messages somewhere as the BIOS / Firmware probes the hardware, then you should get some messages or prompts on the console.

Of course, I'm hoping that it is not a console that is off with the server and takes an age to warm up. From experience, they can be a nightmare.

Any change of a screen shot? Of course, this assumes that you have a remote/virtual console.

SYSTEMD-ASK-PASSWORD-CONSOLE.SERVICE(8)                systemd-ask-password-console.service                SYSTEMD-ASK-PASSWORD-CONSOLE.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-ask-password-console.service, systemd-ask-password-console.path, systemd-ask-password-wall.service, systemd-ask-password-wall.path
       - Query the user for system passwords on the console and via wall

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-ask-password-console.service

       systemd-ask-password-console.path

       systemd-ask-password-wall.service

       systemd-ask-password-wall.path

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-ask-password-console.service is a system service that queries the user for system passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and
       SSL certificate passphrases) on the console. It is intended to be used during boot to ensure proper handling of passwords necessary for
       boot.  systemd-ask-password-wall.service is a system service that informs all logged in users for system passwords via wall(1). It is
       intended to be used after boot to ensure that users are properly notified.

       See the developer documentation[1] for more information about the system password logic.

       Note that these services invoke systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) with either the --watch --console or --watch --wall command line
       parameters.

SEE ALSO

       systemd(1), systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1), wall(1)
