Dirty Cache Data Error Message
Error Message: The cache contains dirty data, but some
virtual disks are missing or will go offline, so the
cached data can not be written to disk. If this is an
unexpected error, then please power off your system
and check your cables to ensure all disks are present.
If you continue, the data in cache will be permanently
discarded. Press 'X' to acknowledge and permanently
destroy the cached data.
Probable Cause: The controller preserves the dirty cache from a virtual disk if
the disk becomes offline or is deleted because of missing physical disks. This
message indicates that some configured disks were removed. If the disks were
not removed, they are no longer accessible. The SAS cables for your system
might be improperly connected.
Corrective Action: Check the cable connections and fix any problems.
Restart the system. Use the <Ctrl><R> utility to import the virtual disk or
discard the preserved cache. For the steps to manage preserved cache, see
"Managing Preserved Cache" on page 68.
BIOS Disabled Error Message
Error Message: BIOS Disabled. No Logical Drives Handled by
BIOS
Probable Cause: This warning message is displayed after you disable the
ROM option in the configuration utility. When the ROM option is disabled,
the BIOS cannot boot to INT 13h and cannot provide the ability to boot from
the virtual disk. Int 13h is an interrupt signal that supports numerous
commands that are sent to the BIOS, then passed to the physical disk. The
commands include actions you can perform with a physical disk, such as
reading, writing, and formatting.
Corrective Action: Enable the ROM option.
