Good call Sven! the message is 2005-09-14 09:49:54 AP0451 Process = romload_srvr SM_MSG 000001 OPERATION FAILURE CON451 not inserted in configured node Which is true.. this is a FT CP but I only have one of the pair inserted. I would think it would boot as the primary, but apparently not. I am getting some clips together to try making the hardware Fault Tolerant. The weird thing is --- this has never had a mate in this rack, and was working and has rebooted and worked for a fact! I'll let you know what I find out.
