HIDING OR UNHIDING ARRAYS FROM THE BIOS
The
Hide/Un-Hide
array option allows you to hide or unhide an array or arrays from
the operating system. If an array is hidden, it will not be visible through INT13 or to
the operating system when booted. This is a useful feature for hiding hot backups of
the system.
Note:
A legacy array cannot be hidden from the BIOS. A legacy array can be
hidden from the operating system (using RAIDConsole or bcadm), as long as the
system is not booted off the legacy array and another non-legacy disk is attached
to the controller.
To hide or unhide an array:
1.
Select the
Hide/Un-Hide
option.
2.
Use the arrow keys to highlight an array to be hidden or unhidden.
3.
Press
Insert
to select an array.
4.
Press
Enter
to commit the selection.
The hidden array turns blue in the
BIOS Configuration Utility
, and the status of the
array displays as
Hidden
.
VIEWING DISK DETAILS FROM THE BIOS
This option allows you to view details about the disk. When you highlight a disk from
the
Disk
list, the LEDs on the controller or a properly cabled disk enclosure light up
to identify that disk.
Nothing can be changed from this menu option. It is for information only.
To view disk details:
1.
From the
Main
menu, select
View Disk Details
.
