responds, the BIOS automatically selects the first recovery option in the list and
continues the system startup process. This mode is useful for remote systems
where a user is not present for system startups.
Consider carefully whether to enable unattended mode. Depending on how you
use the system, unattended mode might be undesirable.
For example, consider a system that includes an enclosure of multiple physical
drives. If the enclosure is turned off when you start the system, the BIOS reports a
drive failure. If unattended mode is enabled, the BIOS accepts a recovery option
that changes the configuration. When the system restarts with the enclosure turned
on, the configuration is no longer correct and the system no longer works as
originally configured.
You can change unattended mode with the ServeRAID Manager in bootable-CD
mode only.
Note: If you are configuring your system for clustering, you must enable
unattended mode. If you use the ServeRAID Manager to enable your system
for clustering, the ServeRAID Manager automatically enables unattended
mode.
