Creating a Bootable Drive in a Preboot
Environment
This chapter describes how to use the HBA for your boot device prior to installing an operating
system (OS) on the system.
Note -
If you are installing the HBA into a system that already has an OS installed, do not
perform any procedures in this chapter. Instead, complete the HBA installation, as described in
“To Complete the Installation” on page 20

Overview of Creating a Bootable Drive in a Preboot
Environment
As an installation option, you can choose to install the HBA into a system that does not yet
have an OS installed. With this installation option, if you plan to use the HBA as your boot
device, you can optionally create a RAID volume for the HBA. You can then install the OS onto
a physical drive or onto that RAID volume to enable you to boot from the HBA. On a SPARC
system, you would perform these actions through the
FCode
utility. On an x86 system, you
would do so either through the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Drive Control
menu of the BIOS Setup utility (UEFI booting) or through the BIOS Configuration utility
(Legacy BIOS booting).
