Bull NovaScale R620 and R620 E1 : "Master Boot Record" issue on internal disk "ID03"

Dear Customer,

 
    We thank you for placing your trust in our Fault Tolerant server. We continually strive to improve our products performance, and we have released an utility we recommend you execute to ensure the correct operation of your Bull Fault Tolerant server R620 and R620 E1.
   
    This utility corrects a problem we have identified, and which may occur if the server attempts to boot on the ID03 disk. As the ID03 disk is not bootable by default, any boot attempt on this ID fails. In this case, the boot process stops and the cursor blink on the top left corner of your screen.
   
    Executing the utility rewrites the boot zone in the MBR of all the disks installed in the system, making them bootable, without affecting the rest of your configuration.
