Hardware RAID Support

Server

Controller Description

Supported RAID Levels

SPARC T5-4

Two on-board SAS2 controllers

0, 1, 1e, 10

SPARC T5-8

Two on-board SAS2 controllers

0, 1, 1e, 10

Note - 

RAID 1e and RAID 10 are functionally equivalent. RAID 1e requires an odd number of

drives (minimum three). RAID 10 requires an even number of drives (minimum four).

Some servers also support REM controllers that provide hardware RAID capabilities.

Documentation for Oracle's REM controllers is available at: 

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/

E19946-01/index.html

.

There are four sets of RAID management utilities you can use with the on-board SAS2

controllers provided in these servers.

FCode-Based RAID Utility

You can use FCode-based commands provided with the on-board controller to display targets

and manage logical volumes on the server. You enter these commands at the OpenBoot prompt.

The examples of RAID shown in this document rely on the controller's FCode-based

commands, unless otherwise specified.

sas2ircu

 Utility

You can use the LSI SAS2 2008 RAID Management Utility 

sas2ircu

 at the Oracle Solaris

command prompt to manage RAID functionality for the on-board SAS2 controllers. The

sas2ircu

 utility can configure RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1e, and RAID 10.

Note - 

With 

sas2ircu

, when you specify RAID 1e, there must be an odd number of target

drives (minimum three). When you specify RAID 10, there must be an even number of target

drives (minimum four).

The 

sas2ircu

 utility for Oracle servers, together with user documentation, are available on the

LSI website at:
