Server hangs on reboot

[Stefan_s1]

 Running W2K Server and when any of my Backupexec Servers are rebooted it performs the POST and everything but then it just hangs with the cursor flashing. I have to do a cold reboot  Any Ideas?

 Is this happening on more than one machine? If it's just one, I'd try re-seating the SCSI controller card.

Hi Stefan,

Is it running the open file Option?

 I would disable the Backupexec services to get the server come up then check the device manager for the scsi and tape devices to see if there are indication of problems with those devices or drivers. You may want to try and load\reload the latest Veritas device drivers. It sounds like the problem is with a device driver\resource conflict.

Hi,

What hardware are you running? Is it all the same?
Any new additions in terms of hardware on the servers? Did you change any software, or upgrade any software on your servers?
Are your tape drives connected to a dedicated SCSI card, or connected to the same controller as HDDs? If so, have you made sure they're terminated correctly?

Laters!
