Troubleshooting

The cache contains
dirty data, but some
virtual disks are
missing or will go
offline, so the cached
data can not 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.

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.

Check the cable

connections and 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 "Managing

Preserved Cache" on

page 96.

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.

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.

Check the cable

connections and restart

the system.
If there are no cable

problems, press any key

or <Y> to continue.
