When a compute note is powered off for an extended period of time, a week or longer, the LSI BIOS may stop because of a battery error, waiting for the user to press a key in order to continue.

Workaround: Wait for approximately 10 minutes to confirm that the compute node is stuck in boot. Use the Reprovision button in the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance Dashboard to reboot the server and restart the provisioning process.

Bug 16985965

If the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance needs to be powered down and restarted for maintenance or in the event of a power failure, the components should come back up in this order: first networking, then storage, and then the management and compute nodes. For detailed instructions to bring the appliance offline and return it to operation, refer to the section Powering Down Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance X3-2 in the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance X3-2 Administrator's Guide.

It may occur that the management nodes complete their boot sequence before the appliance network configuration is up. In that case, the management nodes are unreachable because their bond0 and bond2 interfaces are down.

Workaround: Reboot the management nodes again. When they come back online, their network interfaces should be correctly configured.
