Glossary

On the PERC controllers, the controller firmware also uses the rebuild rate setting to control the system

resource allocation for the following tasks:

• Performing A Check Consistency

• Background Initialization. See Cancelling Background Initialization

• Full Initialization. A BIOS setting determines whether a full or fast initialization occurs. See Format,

Initialize, Slow And Fast Initialize

• Reconfigure. See Virtual Disk Task: Reconfigure (Step 1 of 3)

Resetting The Controller Configuration

Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.

The Reset Configuration task allows you to erase all the information on the controller so that you can

perform a fresh configuration. This operation destroys all data and virtual disks on the controller and

unassigns any hot spares.

You must completely reconfigure the storage after performing this reset operation.

CAUTION: Resetting a configuration permanently destroys all data on all virtual disks attached to

the controller. If the system or boot partition resides on these virtual disks, it is destroyed.

NOTE: Resetting the controller configuration does not remove a foreign configuration. To remove a

foreign configuration, select Clear Foreign Configuration task.

NOTE: This task is not supported on PERC hardware controllers running in HBA mode.
