Option 2
– If you are going to do a fresh OS install and you want to configure
multiple server storage drives into one or more RAID volumes, you must
configure the server’s storage drives into RAID volumes before you install the
operating system.
■
If your server is equipped with Oracle System Assistant, proceed to
“Configuring Storage Drives Into RAID Volumes Using Oracle System
Assistant” on page 92
and select the task that matches the internal HBA that is
installed on your server.
■
If your server is not equipped with Oracle System Assistant, proceed to
“Configuring RAID Using the BIOS RAID Configuration Utilities” on page 110
.
■
Option 3
– Your server has the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Internal HBA
(SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z) installed and you are going to do a fresh OS install, but you
do not want to configure multiple storage drives into RAID volumes.
For this option, you must configure a single storage drive on a RAID volume and
make that volume bootable.
■
If your server is equipped with Oracle System Assistant, proceed to
“Configure
RAID on Storage Drives Using a Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Internal
HBA” on page 101
and configure RAID on a single storage drive.
■
If your server is not equipped with Oracle System Assistant, proceed to
“Configuring RAID Using the BIOS RAID Configuration Utilities” on page 110
and configure RAID on a single storage drive.
Note –
If you choose option 3, you must configure a single storage drive on a RAID
volume and make that volume bootable; otherwise, the internal HBA will not be able
to identify the storage drive to use for the installations.
■
Option 4
– Your server has the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe Internal HBA
(SGX-SAS6-INT-Z) installed and you are going to do a fresh OS install, but you do
not want to configure the server’s storage drives into RAID volumes.
Proceed to the installation guide for the operating system you want to install:
