Operating system recovery

  • This section provides an overview of the steps involved in operating system recovery on Dell Solutions for Azure Stack HCI.

    Note: Ensure that the RAID 1 virtual disk created on the BOSS M.2 drives is reinitialized.

    Note: To help reduce repair times when the node is added back to the same cluster after recovery, do not reinitialize or clear the data on the disks that were a part of Storage Spaces Direct storage pool.
