Redundant OS Control screen details
About this task
NOTE: The XC Series Appliance and XC Core System does not support the NVDIMM-N, RAID, or UEFI settings.
The Redundant OS Control screen details are explained as follows:
Option Description
Redundant OS
Location
Enables you to select a backup disk from the following devices:
NOTE: RAID configurations and NVMe cards are not included as BIOS does not have the ability to
distinguish between individual drives in those configurations.
Redundant OS
State
NOTE: This option is disabled if Redundant OS Location is set to None.
When set to Visible, the backup disk is visible to the boot list and OS. When set to Hidden, the backup
disk is disabled and is not visible to the boot list and OS. This option is set to Visible by default.
NOTE: BIOS disables the device in hardware, so it cannot be accessed by the OS.
Redundant OS
Boot
NOTE: This option is disabled if Redundant OS Location is set to None or if Redundant OS State
is set to Hidden.
When set to Enabled, BIOS boots to the device specified in Redundant OS Location. When set to
Disabled, BIOS preserves the current boot list settings. This option is set to Enabled by default.
