The Question is:
What does error message mean....?
Manual says contact DEC Service.
The Answer is :
The console RETRY message indicates that the system is unable to access
and complete the network bootstrap, and is retrying the bootstrap.
In this case, the ESA0 indicates that this MicroVAX system is configured
to attempt a network bootstrap via a LANCE-based Ethernet NIC, and that
the download is not being completed. This message also implies that
this system is configured as a cluster satellite, or that this system is
intended to download and use an operating system other than OpenVMS
(eg: VAXeln).
Check the configuration of the boot server host(s) that are intended to
service MOP boot requests from this system, and check the network between
the boot server and this system (including the NICs, all network segments,
cables, routers, switches, and other devices involved), and also ensure
that you have functioning hardware, a functioning NIC, and a functioning
network transceiver associated with the MicroVAX 3100 series.
Pointers to various hardware-related websites are included in the OpenVMS
FAQ, as well as pointers to the Compaq Assisted Services program.
