HP StoreEasy 3000 Gateway Storage - Manual (Page 20)

If the Operating System volume is customized and the System Recovery DVD is run at a later time,
the System Recovery process will maintain the custom settings as long as the above criteria are met
(RAID level other than RAID 0 and OS logical drive size of 60 GB or higher) and the OS volume is
labeled System. If the storage system arrays are deleted and the System Recovery DVD is run, the
System Recovery process will configure the storage system using the factory default settings listed in
the table below.
HP StorageWorks X3000 G2 Network Storage Systems do not include preconfigured data volumes.
The administrator must configure data storage for the storage system. See “
Configuring data
storage ” on page 58 for more information.
The system reserved partition contains the operating system boot loader and allows you to enable
BitLocker Drive Encryption for the Operating System volume.

Default boot sequence
The BIOS supports the following default boot sequence:
1. DVD-ROM
2. Bootable USB flash drive
3. HDD
4. PXE (network boot)
Under normal circumstances, the storage systems boot up from the OS logical drive.
• If the system experiences a drive failure, the drive displays an amber disk failure LED.
• If a single drive failure occurs, it is transparent to the operating system.
