THE

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. 

To hide or unhide an array:

1.

Select the 

Hide/Un-Hide

 option.

2.

Use the arrow keys to highlight the array to be hidden or unhidden. 

3.

Press the 

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

.

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

.

2.

Use the arrow keys to choose a disk.

Information about the disk is displayed in the 

Information

 field across the top, and includes the following data:

•

Disk Number

•

Controller Number

•

Channel Number

•

Disk Size

•

New/Legacy/Empty/InArray

•

Free Space

•

Disk Model Number

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.
