Message Explanation Action
Configured
drives are not in
the configured
location. When the ServeRAID controller detects
that a previously configured drive is
present but the drive is in a new
location, the following message
appears:
x Online drive has been rearranged
where x is the number of drives that
have been rearranged.
After pressing F2, a more detailed
message appears:
Online Drive on Channel w SCSI
ID x moved to Channel y SCSI
ID z
where w and y are the channel
numbers, and x and z are the SCSI
IDs.
Press one of the following keys:
F2 Detailed description. Press this key for a detailed
description of the problem.
F4 Retry. Press this key after correcting a problem.
For example, press F4 after you move the
physical drive to its previously assigned location.
F5 Change the configuration and set the drive to
defunct. Press this key to accept the new state
that the ServeRAID controller will assign to the
drive. For example, the ServeRAID controller will
assign the drive a state of defunct or empty.
Note: A physical drive in the defunct state does
not necessarily mean that you need to replace
the drive. Before you replace the drive, ensure
that:
1. All cables are connected properly to the
backplane and to the physical drive. Also,
ensure that all cables inside the server are
connected properly.
2. The hot-swap drive trays are seated properly
in the drive bay.
3. If multiple drives fail in separate arrays (one
physical drive per array), replace each of the
defunct physical drives. If multiple physical
drives fail at the same time within the
same
array, contact your IBM service
representative. See “Rebuilding a defunct
drive” on page 157 for more information.
After you perform these steps, if the physical
drive does not function properly, replace the drive.
F6 Change the configuration and accept the
rearrangement. Press this key to change the
configuration to match the current drive location.
You might remove the hot-swap drives from the
server for security or maintenance reasons. If you
replace the drives but install them in different
drive bays, you can press F6 to accept the new
locations, and the ServeRAID controller will
update the configuration.
F10 Continue startup without changing the
configuration. Press this key to continue without
change to the configuration.
Controller is not
responding to
commands. No
logical drives are
installed. The ServeRAID controller is not
operational. Contact your IBM service representative.
Error: Cannot
disable this
controller BIOS. The ServeRAID controller was unable
to prevent an extra copy of its BIOS
code from being stored on the server.
This condition occurs when the server
contains multiple ServeRAID
controllers. Contact your IBM service representative.
