Prepare the Storage Drives (Oracle System Assistant)

You can use the Oracle System Assistant RAID Configuration task to prepare the server hard drives for an OS installation. The task enables you to create a bootable volume using RAID 0 for SGXSAS6INTZ and RAID 0 or 1 for SG-SAS6–R-REM-Z.

Before You Begin

  1. Access Oracle System Assistant. See Accessing Oracle System Assistant.
  2. Click the Configure Hardware task button.

    The Configure Hardware RAID Configuration screen appears.

  3. From the HBA drop-down list, select the host bus adapter (HBA).

    Sun Blade X3-2B supports the following storage drive controllers:

    • SG-SAS6–REM-Z

    • SG-SAS6–R-REM-Z

    For more information about supported HBAs, see Supported Host Bus Adapters.

  4. Select the RAID level.

    Oracle System Assistant supports only RAID 0 and RAID 1.

  5. From the list in the Available Disks section, select the disks to include in the volume .
  6. Click Create Volume.

    The volume appears after the volume is created in the list in the Created Volumes section.

  7. Click Volume Details.

    Enter a name for the volume.

  8. For the SG-SAS6–R-REM-Z HBA (Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA), set the volume as bootable.
    • In the Created Volumes section, select the volume that you just created .
    • Click Set Volume for Boot.

      Note - You do not need to set the boot disk for the SG-SAS6–REM-Z HBA. The system BIOS automatically recognizes the disk as bootable. .
