Hello,

Did you have a successfull reboot once time ?
If not, it could comes from your profiles. There is a check box to force the system to go in SMS menus after a reboot. Uncheck this box and it should run normally. This is on the HMC.

Check for these two things:

1. In sms there is a Multiboot option. Toggle it.
2. In the operator panel (LCD panel infront of the server)....i think on screen 1 or 2 the boot mode will be set to 'M' instead of 'N' (normal).....you know what to do.
