BIOS Configuration Utility

The BIOS Configuration Utility, also known as Ctrl+R, is a Open Manage storage management application embedded on the PERC 6 controllers that configures and maintains RAID disk groups and virtual disks, and manages the RAID system. Ctrl+R is independent of any operating system.

NOTE: Use the BIOS Configuration Utility for initial setup and disaster recovery. You can set Advanced features through Dell OpenManage Storage Management and Dell SAS RAID Storage Manager.

The following sections provide information about using the BIOS Configuration Utility. See the online help option by pressing <F1> to obtain additional information about the ongoing operation.

NOTE: The PERC 6 controller configuration utility refreshes the screen to show changes to information on the screen. The refresh occurs when you press a key or every 15 seconds if you do not press a key.

Entering the BIOS Configuration Utility

The BIOS Configuration Utility configures physical disk groups and virtual disks. Because the utility resides in the controller BIOS, its operation is independent of the operating systems on your system.

Perform the following steps to enter the BIOS Configuration Utility when you boot the system.

1Turn on and boot the system.

A BIOS banner displays information about the controller and configuration.

2During bootup, press <Ctrl><R> when prompted by the BIOS banner.

After you press <Ctrl><R>, if there is only one controller, the Virtual Disk Management screen for that controller displays. If there is more than one controller, the main menu screen displays first. This screen lists the RAID controllers. Use the arrow keys to select the RAID controller you want to configure, and press <Enter> to access the management menus for the controller. The virtual disks, physical disks, free space, hot spares, and other items displays in the other menu screens. The information can

display in a list view or in an expandable tree directory similar to that of Microsoft® Windows® Explorer.
