Symptom

Action

When booting, the node generates an error stating that a boot device is not availableunavailable.

The node boots into an operating system other than Swarm.

If you are booting from a USB device, verify that the node is capable of booting from a USB device and the USB memory device is configured as the primary boot device.

Verify the following if PXE booting:

  • The server is configured to network boot.

  • PortFast is configured on the switch ports that lead leading to the Swarm node.
    Otherwise, the extended time delay required for listening and learning Spanning Tree states can prevent netboot from delivering the Swarm image to the node in a timely manner.

The node boots from the USB device, but Swarm fails to start.

The node begins to boot but reports a "kernel panic" error and stops.

These symptoms usually indicate a hardware compatibility issue with the hardware. Contact Swarm DataCore Support with the details of your the hardware setup.
