My apologies for such an obscure sentence =)

What I meant by that was that I had to use the command "exerc"
on the srm monitor prior to the boot procedure to sort of 
"warm up" the disks.

Without this "warm up exercise" for a few seconds the disks are detected but 
their size is not assessed (this failure is what I meant by
"taken to be offline"). 

I hope that helps.
