ABSTRACT:
A method of automatic recovery from a boot device failure and an initial program load (IPL) failure of an operating system (OS) comprises: receiving and complying with a user selected option of an action upon an event of a boot device failure and an IPL failure. The user selected option may consist of taking the action of attempting an auto reboot of the server with the selected boot device and continuing the reboot attempts using the reduced priority boot devices from the bootlist until detection of a boot success, or taking no action allowing for manual user intervention.
