Warning Message

Corrective Action

WARNING: Found
virtual disks
that are
Failed

This warning message appears when at least one virtual disk is

in a Failed state and Pause if Failed is set to ON at the

PERC Virtual Disk Management utility.
The following message appears after the warning is displayed:
--- Press <Enter> to continue, or <Ctrl><R>
to enter setup ---
Press <Enter> to allow the operating system to continue its

boot, or press <Ctrl><R> to enter into the PERC Virtual Disk

Management utility to investigate the cause of the Failed virtual

disk.

NOTE:

A boot virtual disk that is in a Failed state prevents the

operating system from booting.
To investigate the cause, check for the following:

• Determine if a single or multiple physical disks in a non-

redundant virtual disk have failed. If "yes," data is lost. Recover

the lost data from a backup storage source.

• Determine if two or more physical disks in a redundant virtual

disk have failed. If "yes," data is lost. Recover the lost data

from a backup storage source.

NOTE:

For a RAID 10, if a single physical disk fails in each

mirrored set, the redundant virtual disk goes to a Degraded status

but data is not lost. If two physical disks fail in one of the mirrored

sets, the redundant virtual disk goes to a Failed status and data is

lost.
