Configuring RAID Using the BIOS RAID Configuration

Utilities

You can configure RAID using Oracle System Assistant or, if Oracle System Assistant is not

available, you can use the BIOS RAID configuration utilities that reside in the HBA firmware.

The procedures for configuring RAID differ depending on the type of HBA installed the server.

For instructions on how to use these utilities, see the following sections:

■

“Configuring RAID Using the BIOS With the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe Internal

HBA” on page 101

■

“Configuring RAID Using the BIOS With the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Internal

HBA” on page 104

Configuring RAID Using the BIOS With the Sun

Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe Internal HBA

The BIOS RAID configuration utilities support configuring RAID with the server set to UEFI

boot mode and legacy boot mode. A separate utility is provided for each boot mode.

Note - 

Some operating systems and virtual machine software only support the legacy boot

mode. For a list of operating systems and virtual machine software that support UEFI boot

mode, see 

“UEFI BIOS” on page 27

.
