Preface |
This installation guide explains how to install Oracle’s eight-port, internal Sun StorageTek SAS RAID HBA (referred to as Sun StorageTek SAS RAID Internal HBA in this document), which uses Adaptec technology. It also provides a basic overview of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID) technology.
This preface contains the following topics:
Familiarize yourself with computer hardware, data storage, RAID technology, and the input/output (I/O) technology--SAS, or Serial ATA (SATA)--used by the HBA.
Also, familiarize yourself with Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) or Network-Attached Storage (NAS)--whichever is appropriate for your storage space--and Storage Area Network (SAN) concepts and technology.
If you are using a SPARC system with the HBA and you need to install the Solaris OS, read the Solaris 10 10/08 Installation Guide: Basic Installations (part number: 820-5236-nn) prior to installing the HBA. You can find this document by performing a search at:
