Getting Server Firmware and Software Updates
Perform this procedure to make a RAID volume (virtual drive) bootable only when you have created more than one RAID volume (virtual drive) with an SG-SAS6-R-REM-Z HBA using the LSI BIOS Configuration Utility, as described in Configure Storage Drives (LSI WebBIOS Configuration Utility).
Do not perform this procedure if you have:
An SG-SAS6-REM-Z HBA installed.
Used Oracle System Assistant to create a RAID volume (virtual drive) and made that volume bootable.
Created only one RAID volume (virtual drive) using the LSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
Before You Begin
Create at least one RAID volume (virtual drive) on the SG-SAS6-R-REM-Z HBA using the LSI BIOS Configuration Utility. See Configure Storage Drives (LSI WebBIOS Configuration Utility).
Choose one of the following methods.
Refer to the Oracle X4 Series Server Administration Guide for more information.
The Adapter Selection screen appears.
