Table 7-5. Warning Messages: Dell Inc. PERC S100 or S300 Adapter BIOS (continued)
Warning Message Corrective Action
WARNING: Found
virtual disks
that are
Degraded and
Failed This warning message appears when multiple virtual disks are
in Degraded and Failed state and Pause if Degraded or
Pause if Failed are 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 Degraded
and Failed virtual disks.
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:
• Whether the virtual disk is in Degraded status because one of
the physical disks of a RAID 1 or RAID 5 virtual disk has
failed, or one of the physical disks of a RAID 10 virtual disk
has failed.
Press and verify if the physical disks are offline
or missing. Remove and replace a failed physical disk. A
second physical disk failure could cause a Degraded virtual
disk to change to Failed status.
• Whether the virtual disk is in a Failed status because one or
more of the physical disks have failed.
Press and verify if the physical disks are offline
or missing. Remove and replace the failed physical disk or
disks.
