We have an issue with our HP DL360 G5 server not booting.

It starts up, but gets stuck at a "PXE-E53: No boot filename received" error.

Can you shed some light on how to resolve this issue?

    Sounds like it's trying to boot over network. Is this intended? Commented Jan 22, 2016 at 19:35

    It's hitting "Network" in the boot order. If Network is in the boot order after a drive you expected to boot from, that tells me the drive (or at least the bootable file-system on the drive) is faulty, so it's skipping the device. As-is there's not enough info to give you an accurate answer, please add details about what you expect to happen. Commented Jan 22, 2016 at 19:42

This is shown when you try to boot via PXE. When booting in such mode, the server will try to find a TFTP server which will retrieve a list of different preconfigured images of operating systems available to install. You usually use this boot mode only when you want to install the operating system on the server, it is not needed afterwards.

This can be configured in the BIOS. At boot time, enter the BIOS (F2) to check the boot order, and precede the hard disk to the PXE mode if you want to avoid your server look for TFTP servers each time it boots.

  • Hello all, thanks for your views. We had an issue of one of the hard disk drives popped out a little bit. So it was not able to detect the bootable drive. After we fixed the hard drive correctly then it came back with below options: Select "F1" to continue with logical drive(s) disabled Select "F2" to accept data loss and to re-enable logical drive(s) RESUME = "F1" OR "F2" KEY Pressed F2 to continue and everything came up as usual. Thanks and Appreciate your comments. Commented Jan 25, 2016 at 9:53
