Advanced Configuration Functions

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.

•  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.

•  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.
•  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' for more information.)

  Notes:
   1. The Multiple Controller mode has two settings: Erase and Shrink.  When this parameter is set to Erase, redundant copies of the ServeRAID BIOS are erased.  When this parameter is set to Shrink, the extra copies of the ServeRAID BIOS are removed  from memory, but stored for future use.
   When you have multiple ServeRAID adapters and controllers installed,  you need only one active copy of ServeRAID BIOS.
   However, to ensure that you will have a copy of the ServeRAID BIOS available if  your active copy becomes defective or unavailable, leave the Multiple Controller  parameter set to Shrink.
   2. Only one adapter or controller in the system can support the INT13 extensions.

•  View Controller and PCI Information shows the ServeRAID adapter or controller hardware and PCI  register information.
•  Exit lets you exit the Mini-Configuration program.
