You can specify the HBA to be your boot device by using one of these utilities:
FCode utility - A utility that you can run on a SPARC system and that is accessible through the Open Boot PROM (OBP) environment. This utility consists of a set of special commands to display targets and manage RAID volumes.
UEFI menu of the BIOS Setup utility - A utility that you can run on an x86 system only if you have set your system BIOS to boot in UEFI BIOS mode (which you can specify through the Boot menu of the BIOS Setup utility). You access this utility by pressing F2, when prompted, during bootup, and then using the right arrow key to navigate to the UEFI Driver Control menu at the top of the screen. The UEFI Driver Control menu provides a standard environment for booting an operating system, managing physical disks and RAID volumes, and running pre-boot applications.
BIOS Configuration utility - A legacy booting utility that you can run on an x86 system only if you have set your system BIOS to boot in legacy mode (which you can specify through the Boot menu of the BIOS Setup utility). You access this utility by typing Ctrl+C, when prompted, during bootup. This utility consists of a text-based user interface that enables you to manage physical disks and RAID volumes.
