Warning Message Corrective Action
WARNING: Found

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 to continue, or
to enter setup ---
Press to allow the operating system to continue its
boot, or press 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.
