record and initializes the disk. If the CSS detects any errors in the configuration
record, a failed message appears along with information on the configuration

address, or there is no primary or secondary boot record. The CSS does not
continue the boot process until the problem is resolved.
If a failed message occurs:
Enter the Offline DM menu and display your current configuration record.

each component is functioning.
