Hi,

if you press F1 your logical drive will be disabled. so only option that you have is to press F2 to continue.

"Select "F2" to accept data loss and to re-enable logical drive(s)"

Note: Data which is there in the cache and not been transfered back to disks will be lost.

also found an advisory please review :

I have a similar problem with my DL380 G6 but when I press F2 nothing happens it just sits there and it does not move:

1779-Slot 1 Drive Array - Replacement drive(s) detected OR previously failed

drives(s) now appear to be operational: 

         Port 1E: Box   1:   Bays 3,7

Logical drive(s)  disabled dues to possible data loss.

Select  "F1" to continue with logical drive(s) disabled

Select "F2" to accept data loss and to re-enable logical drive(s)

(RESUME="F1 OR "F2" KEY)

When I press F2 it just stays here, any help would be greatly appreciated, I have 4 logical drives and only 1 is working, the other 3 ll of a sudden stopped working and all of the data is on these 3 logical drives.

Thanks for your guidance.

It depends.

The RAID is disabled because there was a problem. If the problem is solved and all disks are available again, you can safely resume the RAID, if let's says 2 disks of a RAID5 are missing or bad for any reason and you select resume, the data is lost.

So there is a possibility.
