server does not have Oracle System Assistant or you do not want to use it.
■
If you want to create a RAID volume level 5, 6, 50, or 60 using the storage drive on
which you plan to install the operating system.
Note –
Oracle System Assistant only supports RAID 0, 1, and 10 for the
SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z HBA.

You do not want to create a RAID volume, but the intended OS installation hard
drive has not been initialized.
