Hi.
I currently have a boot problem with Server 2008R2 when booting from an iSCSI LUN. I performed the install and everything was up and running and working just fine. Preformed a lot of configuration work on the server for Hyper-V/System Center. I performed
a clean shutdown of the server. Since I am using Cisco UCS I disassociated the server service profile with the server (once shut down). This was ultimately to remove the local storage as i did not need it anymore (nothing was on the local storage anyways it
was all on the SAN). After associating the server profile again to the same physical blade in the UCS Chassis, the server now fails to boot. The loading screen displays as if it is loading, but right before the transition to the user log in screen it actually
blue screens saying that windows is shutting down to prevent damage to the disk. (there is no error code, it is simply "informative") suggests running chkdsk. Which i have from the system recovery and returns with 0 errors on the disk.
repair attempts
I do not have the option to boot in safe mode so this isn't possible (unless I can some how from the system recovery)
I have booted from the installation media and reinstall the Cisco VIC drivers just like for the initial installation procedure and can see the OS LUN just fine. I have tried the following on the LUN bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /fixboot, drive\boot\bootsect.exe /NT60 all -
I am currently at a loss right now on how to fix this. I am also relatively new to the IT world so i apologize for any ignorance I may have the moment.
What it appears like to me -
Everything is there for the OS to boot but it seems as though when I disassociated the UCS service profile, the OS lost the Cisco VIC driver (I no idea how this might have happened). Is there any way to check this and/or install it again from the system recovery command prompt? That is about all i can get to at this point.
Thanks for you help its much appreciated!
