Use this procedure to make a virtual drive bootable when you have created more than one virtual drive (RAID volume) with an SG-SAS6–R-REM-Z HBA using the LSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
You do not need to follow this procedure if any of the following is true:
You used Oracle System Assistant to create a volume and make the volume bootable.
You have an SG-SAS6–REM-Z HBA.
You have created only one virtual drive using the LSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
Before You Begin
Create at least one virtual drive on the SG-SAS6–R-REM-Z HBA using the LSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
Note - If you just finished creating a virtual drive, you might already be at the WebBIOS screen. If you have exited the WebBIOS utility, follow Step 2 and Step 3 to reach the WebBIOS main menu.
Refer to the Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Administration Guide for more information.
The Adapter Selection screen appears.
The MegaRAID BIOS Config Utility Virtual Configuration screen appears.
The Virtual Drives screen appears.
When the operation is successfully completed, the Set Boot Drive value for this virtual drive shows (current=selected VD).
