Before you begin, ensure the following:
The disk drives have been properly installed on the server.
For more information, review the server service manual.
The host bus adapter (HBA) installed on the server is supported.
A list of supported HBAs is provided in the server product notes.
If the server is running a UNIX-based platform, you have root permission.
If the server is running Windows, you have administrator privileges.
If the server is running the Oracle Solaris operating system, note the following:
On Oracle Solaris, raidconfig is not compatible with the raidctl CLI tool. raidconfig supports SAS2, but the raidctl tool does not.
For servers running Oracle Solaris, after hot-plugging any device, run the devfsadm -C command to reenumerate all of the system device nodes before running the raidconfig command.
![]() | Caution - This procedure erases all data on the configured disks, including the operating system if one is present. |
