As long as the virtualization data is not available to the server, this server will not be able to boot.
This illustrates that when managing PRIMERGY rack servers with VIOM it is very important that the VIOM management sta- tion is always running.
It is advisable to make regular backups of the ServerView Oper- ations Manager database and the VIOM database including trans- action logs. These database backups and transaction logs should be stored on
If the server needs to boot after AC failure even though the VIOM man- agement station is not currently available, the
