Note - The Relative option enables the mouse to move from window to window while you are in Remote Console. At the end of this procedure, you are asked to change this mouse setting to Absolute.
This launches the ILOM 3.0 remote console window.
The MegaRaid BIOS Config Utility Virtual Configuration screen opens.
Automatic Configuration creates a single virtual drive that includes all the hard drives on your system. More than one drive is configured as a striped set (RAID0) and appears as a single virtual drive of combined storage space. This might not be desirable as there can be multiple points of failure. That is, if one drive fails, then the system does not boot. You must remove all the drives except one. Alternatively, you can use Manual Configuration to create the virtual drive using only one hard drive.
You can now view Drive Group0.
Note - You can undo the drive group selection by clicking the Reclaim button.
For more information about configuring RAID, refer to your server's Disk Management documentation.
