The following message appears after the warning is displayed:

 

--- Press <Enter> to continue, or <Ctrl><R>

 

to enter setup ---

 

Press <Enter> to allow the operating system to continue its

 

boot, or press <Ctrl><R> 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 <Ctrl><R> 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 <Ctrl><R> and verify if the physical disks are offline

 

or missing. Remove and replace the failed physical disk or

 

disks.
