To Create a RAID Volume With the
FCode
Utility (SPARC)
displayed in the
show-devs
output, use the
select
and
.properties
commands to
determine which card you want and then select that card.

subsystem-id 00003050
The internal facing cards contain a subsystem-ID of
00003050
. To further specify the card,
you can also display the SAS addresses of any connected drives by using the
show-children
command.
6. Review the following table for useful
Fcode
commands.

You are now ready to use the
FCode
commands to optionally create a RAID volume on
the HBA. For more information, see “To Create a RAID Volume With the
FCode
Utility
(SPARC)” on page 29 . If you plan to install the OS onto a physical drive, go to “Creating
an Alias for a Bootable Drive (SPARC)” on page 30 .
To Create a RAID Volume With the
FCode
Utility (SPARC)
Perform the steps in this section if you want to optionally configure a RAID volume on a
SPARC system. You can then install the Oracle Solaris operating system (OS) on that RAID
volume.
Note -
Do not perform the steps in this section if you want to install the OS on a
non-RAID volume. Instead, go directly to “To Create an Alias for a Bootable Drive
(SPARC)” on page 30 .

Use the
show-children
command to list all the physical drives attached to the
HBA.
