Initializing, viewing, or synchronizing the
ServeRAID II controller configuration:
The
ServeRAID configuration information stored in nonvolatile
random-access memory (NVRAM) is critical to the reliable
operation of the disk array. To protect the integrity of the
configuration information, the configuration information is
also stored in an EEPROM and on each RBL and ONL
hard disk drive. Each time you change the configuration
information, all corresponding copies are updated
automatically.
During POST, if the NVRAM configuration information does
not match the configuration information stored in the
EEPROM or on the hard disk drives, an error message
appears.
You can use the Init/View/Synchronize Config menu to
initialize, view, or synchronize the ServeRAID controller
configuration information.
To initialize, view, or synchronize the configuration
information:
1. Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see
“Starting the ServeRAID Configuration program” on
page 77).
2. Select Advanced Functions from the Main Menu;
then, press Enter.
3. Select Init/View/Synchronize Config from the next
menu; then, press Enter.
