Configuring RAID
Configuring RAID
Some devices, including Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Host Bus Adapter, Internal
16 Port, must include a RAID volume before they can present a valid target for OS installation
programs.
The server is shipped with Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Host Bus Adapter, Internal
16 Port configured as RAID 0 volumes, meaning that each volume includes a single disk drive.
Other volumes combine multiple disks into arrays, which can increase performance and provide
redundancy.
To configure the Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Host Bus Adapter, Internal 16 Port
see
“Configure RAID on Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Host Bus Adapter, Internal 16
.
Because altering RAID configuration might destroy any data or OS image on the affected
drives, you should back up any data on the drive, and you should create the volume before
installing an OS on it.
