Configuring a Bootable Logical Drive

The default boot logical drive is LD 0. If you change the boot drive to
another logical drive, the BIOS and the CU will preserve this change.
However, if you delete the new boot logical drive, you must be sure to
configure another logical drive for booting. The MegaRAID BIOS CU will
not automatically select a different boot logical drive.

Follow these steps to configure a bootable logical drive:

1.

On the Management Menu, select Configure ->

Select Boot Drive.

2.

Select a logical drive from the list to be the designated boot drive.

3.10 Deleting a Logical Drive

Caution:

Before you delete a logical drive, be sure to back up all the
data you want to keep.

The MegaRAID BIOS CU allows you to delete any single logical drive
defined in the configuration (sometimes referred to as random deletion).
To delete a specified logical drive, follow these steps:

1.

Select Objects -> Logical Drive.

2.

Highlight the logical drive that you want to delete and press Delete.

3.

Select Yes when the confirmation message appears.

3.11 Clearing a Storage Configuration

Caution:

Before you clear a storage configuration, be sure to back
up all the data you want to keep.
