Troubleshooting

Probable Cause
The controller preserves
the dirty cache from a
virtual disk if the disk
becomes offline or is
deleted because of missing
physical disks.
This preserved dirty cache
is called pinned cache, and
is preserved until you
import the virtual disk, or
discard the cache.
This warning is displayed
when the BIOS detects
virtual disks in the offline
state.
This message is displayed
when the BIOS detects
virtual disks in a degraded
state.
This message is displayed
when the BIOS detects a
single disk failure in a
RAID 6 or RAID 60
configuration.
Corrective Action

Use the
utility to import the
virtual disk or discard
the preserved cache.
For the steps used to
