Before installing the operating system, you must create a virtual disk on your server. To create this virtual disk, you must interrupt the server's boot-up process by pressing Control-H when the LSI banner appears.
Creating a virtual disk erases the contents of the disk.
Note - Virtual disks can also be created from the MegaRAID software (which is installed through the supplemental drivers on the Tools and Drivers DVD), but should not be used for installing the operating system.
