Checkpoint Description Action/
Possible Failing FRU
E174 Description: Establishing host connection
Action/Possible Failing FRU: If the system is not connected to an active network, or if
the target server is inaccessible (which can result from incorrect IP parameters being
specified), the system still attempts to boot and because time-out durations are
necessarily long to accommodate retries, the system may appear to hang.
Restart the system and get to the SMS utilities menu. Under Select Boot Options,
verify:
v Is the intended boot device correctly specified in the boot list?
v Are the IP parameters correct?
v Look at the server configuration for this client.
v Attempt to ping the target server using the ping utility in SMS.
