Advanced Configuration Functions:
You can select the Advanced Functions choice to reset
the ServeRAID adapter or controller, initialize the
configuration, import the configuration information from the
drives, configure BIOS settings, and view the adapter,
controller, or PCI information.
When you select the Advanced Functions choice from
the Main Menu, the following choices appear on the
screen.
Attention
Be careful when making selections from this menu. If
you change the configuration, you might lose data.
Ÿ
Initialize Configuration lets you reset the
configuration. You will not have access to any data
stored on the logical drives attached to the selected
ServeRAID adapter or controller.
This choice deletes the existing configuration
information, sets all functional hard disk drives
attached to the controller to the Ready state, and
deletes all logical drives defined for the controller.
This choice does not change any of the ServeRAID
adapter or controller settings (such as the stripe-unit
size, rebuild rate, and so on) from their current or
customized values.
Ÿ
Import Configuration from Drive reads the most
common configuration from the drives in the system
and copies it to the ServeRAID adapter or controller
NVRAM and EEPROM module.
Ÿ
Configure BIOS Settings lets you modify the BIOS
settings, such as the Bootable CD-ROM and INT13
Extensions settings, for the ServeRAID adapter or
controller. (See “Setting the bootable CD-ROM
feature” on page 97 for more information.)
