h.
To decrease boot up time, Oracle recommends disabling Intel PXE Boot Agent
for both onboard and NIC ethernet ports. To disable the Boot Agent for the
onboard ethernet ports, navigate to the OpROM option for NET0, NET1,
NET2, and NET3 interfaces (for example, IO, Internal Devices) and set it to
disabled.
i.
To disable Boot Agent for NIC ethernet ports, note the blue PCIe slot number
label at the back of the Netra server where the NICs are installed, then disable
the OpROM option for those slots. (Note that you may be able to identify slot
number through the ILOM System Information, PCI Devices menu.)
j.
Reboot the server.
4.
Initialize the HDD.
a.
Open the ILOM remote system console to observe the system's boot cycle,
and interrupt the boot cycle to enter the LSI MegaRAID status display. For
example, pressing the Ctrl-R key is a common way to enter LSI MegaRAID
BIOS Configuration Utility.
b.
Navigate the utility to establish the elements of your virtual drive, typically
consisting of a New Configuration with two entire HDDs.
c.
Access the menu from which you create a virtual drive.
d.
Set the RAID level to RAID-1.
e.
Select all of the drives that you want.
f.
From the Virtual Drive Management dialog, select the new drive and initialize
it. For example, pressing F2 and selecting Fast Init from the command menu is
a common way to execute initialization.
g.
After initialization is complete, Escape from the LSI MegaRAID Configuration
Utility and reboot the system.
5.
Perform a cold shutdown by removing all system power.
