The BMC monitors boot progress; you can determine the boot progress status through the BIOS Status sensor by entering the sensors show BMC command.

In the sensors show output, the BIOS Status sensor displays one of three states: Normal, Hung, or Error. In the Reading column, the sensor displays BIOS and boot loader progress. In the example output, the BIOS Status sensor displays a state of Normal and a reading of Loader #20, indicating that the boot loader is running normally.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| 0x00 | System software has cleanly shut down. (Sent only by Data ONTAP.) |
| 0x01 | Memory initialization is in progress. |
| 0x02 | NVMEM initialization is in progress (when NVMEM is armed). |
| 0x05 | User has entered setup. |
| 0x13 | Booting to Data ONTAP (or boot loader). |
| 0x1F | BIOS is starting up. (Special message to the BMC.) This is the first BIOS status message. It might be quickly followed by another. |
| 0x20 | Boot loader is running. |
| 0x21 | Boot loader is programming the primary firmware hub. The BMC does not allow the system to be powered down at this time. |
| 0x22 | Boot loader is programming the alternate firmware hub. The BMC does not allow the system to be powered down at this time. |
| 0x2F | Boot loader has transferred control to Data ONTAP. Data ONTAP might send this periodically to inform the BMC that Data ONTAP is running, if the BMC has rebooted. |
| 0x60 | BMC has shut power off. |
| 0x61 | BMC has turned power on. |
| 0x62 | BMC has reset the system. |
| 0x63 | BMC Watchdog power cycle. |
| 0x64 | BMC Watchdog cold reset. |
The BIOS Status sensor also displays BIOS and boot loader error codes. If the BIOS status sensor displays a Hung or Error state, contact technical support for interpretation of the codes.
