Table 7-4. Warning Messages: Dell Inc. PERC S100 or S300 Adapter BIOS
(continued)
Warning Message Corrective Action
WARNING: Found
virtual disks
that are
Failed
This warning message appears when at least one virtual disk is
in a Failed state and Pause if Failed is set to ON at the
PERC Virtual Disk Management utility.
The following message appears after the warning is displayed:
--- Press <Enter> to continue, or <Ctrl><R>
to enter setup ---
Press <Enter> to allow the operating system to continue its
boot, or press <Ctrl><R> to enter into the
PERC Virtual Disk
Management
utility to investigate the cause of the
Failed
virtual
disk.
NOTE:
A boot virtual disk that is in a Failed state prevents the
operating system from booting.
To investigate the cause, check for the following:
• Determine if a single or multiple physical disks in a non-
redundant virtual disk have failed. If "yes," data is lost. Recover
the lost data from a backup storage source.
• Determine if two or more physical disks in a redundant virtual
disk have failed. If "yes," data is lost. Recover the lost data
from a backup storage source.
NOTE:
For a RAID 10, if a single physical disk fails in each
mirrored set, the redundant virtual disk goes to a Degraded status
but data is not lost. If two physical disks fail in one of the mirrored
sets, the redundant virtual disk goes to a Failed status and data is
lost.
