To resolve this issue, reset the H700 BIOS to revise the proper boot order setting to configure the proper boot LUN to be RAID1. To reset the proper LUN boot order, complete the following steps: 1. Start Restore Manager. 2. Select Option 1 → Recover My Appliance. The OS Virtual Disk is created: Warning Code 2002 dialog is displayed. 3. Click Proceed. 122
