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

arrow key to highlight physical disk in the tree view, and press <F2>. In the menu
that displays, 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. If this occurs, you can 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 displays 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>.
