For more information about the different
FCode
commands that you can use to create
RAID volumes, see
Chapter 3, “Creating a Bootable Drive in a Preboot Environment ”
b.
(x86 only) During the power-up process of the system, review the BIOS
bootup messages, access the BIOS Configuration utility by pressing Ctrl+C,
when prompted, and create volumes for the HBA through the BIOS utility.
For more information about creating volumes through the BIOS utility, see
“Creating a Bootable Drive in a Preboot Environment ”
.
c.
Go to the Oracle support area of the LSI web site (
), download the
SAS2IRCU
utility, and issue the
sas2ircu
command, with no options, at the command-line or at a terminal window.
Issuing the
sas2ircu
command, with no options, produces a list of
SAS2IRCU
utility
commands that you can use to create RAID volumes for the HBA. Upon reviewing the list
of commands, use the appropriate commands to create the RAID volumes.
Note -
With version 04.250.04.02 of the
SAS2IRCU
utility, be careful when using the
DELETE
command. The
DELETE
command can take no arguments or a single argument. Issuing the
DELETE
command with no arguments deletes all RAID volumes. Issuing the command with a
single argument deletes only the RAID volume that you specify in the argument. With version
6.250.02.00 of the
SAS2IRCU
utility or later, use the
DELETEVOLUME
command to delete a single
RAID volume.
For more information about the RAID configuration utilities, see
Configuration Utility” on page 56
.
After you initiate the creation of a RAID 1 or RAID 10 volume, the HBA performs a
background initialization task that synchronizes untouched blocks of each side of the mirror
for the entire volume. This background task operates transparently, and does not prevent
normal communication with the volume or immediate mirroring of new data written to the
volume. However, applications might experience performance degradation until the background
initialization task is complete.
Next Steps
Install any software required by the HBA, specific to your operating system, as described in
Chapter 4, “HBA Software Installation”
