Action
F7 Import configuration information from drive. Press
this key to restart the server. Press this key to
import the configuration information from the drive
and to update the configuration information for the
ServeRAID controller. This choice is useful when
you replace the ServeRAID controller in an
existing ServeRAID subsystem.
You also might press F7 if you replace a whole
set of drives with drives that were configured in
another server with a ServeRAID controller.
Note: When you install drives in a server that
has no logical drives defined, the F7 choice will
not appear. The ServeRAID controller does not
contain any logical drives in its factory
configuration. Therefore, F7 will not appear. In
this case, do the following:
1. Restart the server and press Ctrl+I to start the
Mini-Configuration program. (See Chapter 7,
"Using the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration
program" on page 67 for more information.)
2. Select Advanced Functions.
3. Select Copy the Configuration from Drives
to the Controller and follow the instructions
on the screen.
1. Press Ctrl+I to access the ServeRAID
Mini-Configuration menu. (See Chapter 7, "Using the
ServeRAID Mini-Configuration program" on page 67 for

2. Select Advanced Functions from the main menu.
3. Select Copy the Configuration from Drives to the
Controller. (See "Using the advanced configuration

1. Press Ctrl+I to access the ServeRAID
Mini-Configuration menu. (See Chapter 7, "Using the
ServeRAID Mini-Configuration program" on page 67 for
more information.)
2. Select Advanced Functions from the main menu.
Attention: Restoring to factory-default settings sets
all online drives in an array to ready. You must import
the configuration from the drives or diskette.
Otherwise, you must create a new array and logical
drives. When you create new logical drives, they are
automatically initialized. All data is lost and you must
reinstall the operating system and data.
3. Select Restore to the Factory-Default Settings. (See
"Using the advanced configuration functions" on
page 68 for more information.)
Replace the defunct drives as soon as possible to prevent
data loss.
