You can also use the VD Mgmt screen to perform a manual rebuild. Use the

select the Rebuild option.

CAUTION:

If a physical disk is a member of a disk group that contains multiple

virtual disks and one of the virtual disks is deleted when a rebuild operation is in
progress, the rebuild operation stops. You can then resume the rebuild operation
manually using a storage management application. To avoid interruption, ensure
that none of the virtual disks are deleted until the rebuild is complete.

Enabling Boot Support

NOTE:

See your system documentation to ensure the proper boot order is selected

in the system BIOS.

In a multiple controller environment, you can enable BIOS on multiple

controllers. However, if you want to boot from a specific controller, enable the

BIOS on that controller and disable it on the other controllers. The system

can then boot from the BIOS-enabled controller. Perform the following steps

to enable the controller BIOS:

1 Press <Ctrl><N> to access the Ctrl Mgmt menu screen.
2 Press <Tab> to move the cursor to Enable Controller BIOS in the

Settings box.

3 Press the spacebar to select Enable Controller BIOS.

An

X is displayed beside Enable Controller BIOS.

4 Press <Tab> to move the cursor to the Apply button, and then press

<Enter> to apply the selection.
The controller BIOS is enabled. To disable the controller BIOS, use the

spacebar to de-select the

Enable Controller BIOS control, and then select

Apply and press <Enter>.
