More Information
Summary:A computing device that runs an operating system (OS) in a resilient OS mode in which configuration parameters of the OS are accessible from multiple physical drives so that the computing device can continue to operate notwithstanding a failure to any one of the multiple physical drives. The computing device may be configured with a Virtual Drive to store duplicative copies of the OS and associated configuration parameters across at least two physical drives. The computing device may further be configured with a firmware interface that is deployable to initialize the OS by accessing the Virtual Drive to load the OS and associated configuration parameters into a memory of the computing device. Once initialized, the OS may be operated from the Virtual Drive so that interruption from a failure of any one of the at least two physical drives storing the OS is mitigated.
