RAID Configuration and Management

NOTE:
If you want to have a bootable virtual disk, make sure that INT 13 support is
enabled on the controller, as described in "Controller Options" on page 58.
Deleting Virtual Disks
CAUTION:
Although any virtual disk in the Virtual Disks field can be
deleted, including the first-listed virtual disk in the field, do not delete the first-
listed virtual disk. It may be the system’s bootable virtual disk. Deleting the
bootable virtual disk erases the operating system and the controller drivers.
CAUTION:
When a physical disk is removed from a system, the current PERC S100
adapter or PERC S300 adapter configuration information (metadata) remains on the
disk. If the removed physical disk causes a virtual disk to fail, and the virtual disk
is then deleted and a Rescan is performed, re-inserting the physical disk causes
the PERC Virtual Disk Management utility to merge the re-inserted physical disk's
