- When set to Off, you can choose the recovery method when there is a ServeRAID adapter or controller startup error. - When set to On, the ServeRAID adapter or controller chooses the recovery method when a startup error occurs. Read Ahead shows the current On/Off state of the Read Ahead Cache mode. BootCD shows the current On/Off state of the Bootable CD-ROM function. (Refer to "Setting the bootable CD-ROM feature" on page 97.) CompMode shows the current BIOS compatibility mode. On indicates 8 GB Extended; Off indicates 2 GB Limited. Clustered shows the current On/Off state for clustering. NVRBB shows the current state of the battery-backup cache option. The default value is Enabled. Boot Blk shows the version number of the bootable microcode loaded for the ServeRAID adapter or controller. Code Blk shows the current version number of the firmware loaded for the ServeRAID adapter or controller. Rebuild Rate shows the current speed setting for rebuilds: High, Medium, or Low. Number of Defunct Drives shows the current number of Defunct physical drives. Number of Offline Drives shows the current number of Offline logical drives. Number of Critical Drives shows the current number of Critical logical drives. Config. Updates shows the number of times that the configuration has been changed since it has been initialized. When you initialize the configuration, the Config. Update resets to zero. Flash Pgms shows the current number of times that the Flash EEPROM has been written. Locked, Bad Stripe, or Blocked Drive identifies the logical drives that are affected. - Bad Stripe Drives indicates the area of a logical drive that is inaccessible. - Locked Stripe Drives is a reserved field. - Blocked Drives indicates the logical drives that are blocked. You must unblock a blocked drive before you can use it. See "Logical drive state descriptions" on page 82 for more information. Viewing the configuration: You can select View Configuration from the Main Menu to view the number of each logical drive, and to view the size, RAID level, state, stripe-unit size, write policy, read-ahead status, and creation date for each logical drive.
