Corrective
Action:
Check the cable connections and fix any issues. Restart the system. If there are no cable
problems, press any key or <C> to continue.
Dirty Cache Data Error Message
Error Message:
The following virtual disks are missing: (x). If you proceed
(or load the configuration utility), these virtual disks will
be removed from your configuration. If you wish to use them at
a later time, they will have to be imported. If you believe
these virtual disks should be present, please power off your
system and check your cables to ensure all disks are present.
Press any key to continue, or 'C' to load the configuration
utility. The cache contains dirty data, but some virtual disks
are missing or will go offline, so the cached data cannot 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 the topic Managing Preserved Cache.
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 and 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.
Drive Configuration Changes Error Message
Error Message:
Entering the configuration utility in this state will result in
drive configuration changes. Press 'Y' to continue loading the
configuration utility or please power off your system and check
your cables to ensure all disks are present and reboot.
Probable Cause: The message is displayed after another BIOS warning indicating there are problems with
previously configured disks and you have chosen to accept any changes and continue. The
SAS cables for your system might be improperly connected.
