NOTE:
A boot virtual disk that is in a Failed state prevents the operating system from booting.
To investigate the cause, check for the following:
•
Whether the virtual disk is in
Degraded
status because one of the physical disks of a RAID 1 or RAID 5 virtual disk has failed, or one of
the physical disks of a RAID 10 virtual disk has failed. Press Ctrl+R and verify if the physical disks are offline or missing. Remove and
replace a failed physical disk. A second physical disk failure could cause a
Degraded
virtual disk to change to
Failed
status.
•
Whether the virtual disk is in a
Failed
status because one or more of the physical disks have failed. Press Ctrl+R and verify if the
physical disks are offline or missing. Remove and replace the failed physical disk or disks.
