Using ORCA
Part of the startup sequence of a server is the Power-On Self-Test (POST). If the
array controller in the server supports ORCA, POST temporarily halts and an ORCA
prompt message is displayed for about five seconds. (If ORCA is not supported, the
prompt message is not displayed and the system continues with the startup sequence.)
1.
Power up the server and let the system startup sequence begin.
2.
While the prompt message is on the screen, press the
F8
key to start ORCA.
3.
On the
Option ROM Configuration for Arrays Main Menu
screen, select
Select Boot Controller
and follow the prompts to set the boot controller for the
system.
If you want to use ORCA to create logical drives at this point, you do not need to exit
the utility yet. Continue using ORCA as described in Chapter 7.
