RAID Configuration Tools

The server supports these two host bus adapters (HBAs):

■

Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe Internal HBA (SGX-SAS6-INT-Z)

■

Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Internal HBA (SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z)

The procedures that you will use to configure RAID depend on which HBA is
installed in the server and which server BIOS mode is selected, UEFI or Legacy BIOS.
You can use either Oracle System Assistant (recommended) or BIOS RAID
