-noraidprompt*
Option
--noraidprompt*
NOTE: The asterisk is not part of the command syntax.
Valid Arguments NA
Description
Specifies that the BIOS must not prompt for confirmation when changing the
mode of a RAID controller. This option can only be used with the --embscsiraid
or --embscsiraidchb options.
Without this option, the user is prompted during POST to confirm the change of
a RAID controller from RAID (SCSI) to SCSI (RAID). This option is not replicated.
CAUTION: When changing a RAID controller from SCSI to RAID or from
RAID to SCSI, data is lost on the affected hard drives. The warning
message for this data is not displayed if you use the
--noraidprompt option.
To avoid data loss, back up any information on the hard drives before
changing the type of controller used with the drives
Example:
A:>syscfg --embscsiraid=raid --noraidprompt
embscsiraid=raid
