As an installation option, you can choose to install the HBA into a system that does not yet have an OS installed. With this installation option, if you plan to use the HBA as your boot device, you can create a logical drive for the HBA to enable you to boot from the HBA. On a SPARC system, you would perform these actions through the Preboot Command-Line Interface (pcli) utility. On an x86 system, you would do so either through the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Configuration Options menu of the BIOS Setup utility (UEFI booting) or, if your system is set to legacy BIOS booting, through a combination of the pcli utility and then the WebBIOS utility.
