Symptom(s):
During system POST the BIOS reports an error similar to:
"Safety disk configuration error for fault tolerant operation. Reconfigure the fault bus processors"
Cause: The SAF-TE card tracks what devices are in each slot of a hot-swap backplane. If the information discovered by the SAF-TE is out of sync with the cached information, an error like this may occur.
Solution:
The resolution is to delete and add back in the SAF-TE information manually. The following steps are not harmful to any existing RAID arrays.
1. Enter the BIOS StorCon utility by pressing <Ctrl-G> during the POST and proceed to the Advanced menu. 2. Select Configure Physical Devices 3. Select ESG-SHV SCA HSBP (the hot-swap backplane device) 4. Select Enclosure Slot Configuration. A graphical display of each slot is represented. 5. Highlight each slot in succession and press the <Enter> key. This removes the cached SAF-TE information. 6. Repeat this process to rescan the accurate hard disk information. 7. Exit StorCon and reboot.
