Critical boot feature
3-1. Configuration on Disk (COD) Feature
The COD feature writes the configuration information into HDDs. The feature prevents the
configuration information from being lost if the disk array controller is defected and
replaced. After the disk array controller is replaced, the COD feature can read the
configuration information from HDDs to operate the controller normally.
Check
3-2. Rebuild Feature
When a HDD is defected, the rebuild feature recovers the data in the defected HDD. The
feature is available for redundant logical drives in the RAID1, or RAID5 level.
See "Chapter 3 Features of Disk Array Controller" for details.
The disk array controller does not save the configuration information within
it. Instead, it writes and saves the configuration information in HDDs.
