Resetting the Adapter Configuration
The RAID configuration information stored in the adapter NVRAM
is critical to reliable operation of the disk-array. Therefore, to
protect the integrity of the configuration information, copies of the
configuration information are stored in the adapter EEPROM and on
each hard disk drive in a Rebuild or Online state that is defined in
the adapter NVRAM configuration. Each time the configuration
information is changed, all corresponding copies are updated.
