To Complete the Installation

1. Replace the system cover and reconnect the AC power cords, if required, as described in the system documentation.
2. If you needed to turn the system power off to install the HBA, return power on to the system.

   ---

   Note - Ensure that the power is turned on to the SAS devices, SATA II devices, or both before or at the same time that the power is turned on to the host system. If the system is powered on before these devices, the devices might not be recognized.

   ---

3. If you need to install an OS on your system, complete the procedures in Creating a Bootable Drive in a Preboot Environment and then go to the next step.
4. If you already have an OS installed on an x86 system, do the following:
   1. During the power-up process of the system, review the BIOS bootup messages to ensure that you are prompted for the WebBIOS utility (by pressing CTRL+H) and the Preboot command-line (pcli) utility (by pressing CTRL+Y).

      If you are prompted for these utilities, the BIOS has detected the HBA card.

   2. Go to the Oracle support area of the LSI web site (http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/oracle/index.aspx) and download the MegaRAID Storage Manager software and the MegaCLI utility software, along with supporting documentation.
   3. Install the MegaRAID software and MegaCLI software on the system that will manage your storage.
   4. From the MegaRAID Storage Manager software or the MegaCLI utility, create logical drives for the HBA.
5. If you already have an OS installed on a SPARC system, do the following:
   1. During the power-up process of the system, use the probe-scsi-all command at the ok prompt to verify that the system recognizes the HBA.

      The probe-scsi-all command displays the SCSI devices that are connected to the host, as shown in the following example.

      {0} ok probe-scsi-all
      /pci@0/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/pci@a/LSI,mrsas@0
      /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@2
      Unit 0 Removable Read Only device TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-T632ASR03
      {0} ok
      

      This example shows a SAS 2 controller (LSI,mrsas@0) and a CD-ROM drive (storage@2).

   2. Go to the Oracle support area of the LSI web site (http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/oracle/index.aspx) and download the MegaRAID Storage Manager and MegaCLI utility software, along with supporting documentation.
   3. Install the MegaRAID Storage Manager software and MegaCLI utility software on the server that will manage your storage.
   4. From the MegaRAID Storage Manager software or MegaCLI utility software, create logical drives for the HBA.
