The PERC 5/E Adapter should recover without any additional user intervention or warning/error
messages. However, depending on the actual cause of the loss of communication error, a warning/error
message may be displayed at power-on self-test (POST). If this occurs, enter the Ctrl-R utility. For more
information on the Ctrl-R utility, see the Dell PERC5/E Adapter User's Guide.
Warning Messages During POST
The Foreign Configuration warning message and the Failed Virtual Disks warning message may appear
during POST.
Foreign Configuration
If the PERC 5/E Adapter reports foreign configuration, enter the Ctrl-R utility, and then import the
foreign configuration.
Failed Virtual Disks
If one or more virtual disk(s) are spanned across two or more Dell PowerVault MD1000 enclosures,
the Failed Virtual Disks warning message appears. This warning message also appears if a PowerVault
MD1000 in split mode is shared by one server.
Perform the following steps to resolve the Failed Virtual Disks warning message:
1 During POST, press <Ctrl><R> to enter the Ctrl-R utility.
2 Find the virtual disk(s) marked as Failed and record all the details from the Properties screen.
NOTE:
Record all settings, including RAID level, physical disk members, physical disk order (sequence),
virtual disk size, and stripe (element) size.
3 Using the Ctrl-R utility, delete the failed virtual disk.
4 Clear the remaining foreign configuration in the Ctrl-R utility.
5 Using the Ctrl-R utility, re-create the original virtual disk with the identical parameters recorded
in step 2.
NOTE:
Do not initialize the new virtual disks.
6 Exit the Ctrl-R utility and boot to the operating system.
