Configuring drives into RAID volumes is an optional task.
You have these options:
Option 1 – If you intend to use the preinstalled version of Oracle Solaris OS, you cannot configure the server's drives into RAID volumes because the preinstalled OS does not support RAID configurations.
For this option, skip this section and proceed to Configuring the Preinstalled Oracle Solaris OS.
Option 2 – If you are going to perform a fresh OS installation and you want to configure the multiple drives into one or more RAID volumes, you must configure the server's drives into RAID volumes before you install the OS.
If your server is equipped with OSA, proceed to Configure RAID (OSA).
If your server is not equipped with OSA, proceed to Configuring RAID Volumes (LSI BIOS Utilities).
Option 3 – If your server has the SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z HBA (see HBA and RAID Support) installed and you are going to perform a fresh OS install, but you do not want to configure multiple drives into RAID volumes, use this option.
You must configure a single drive on a RAID volume and make that volume bootable.
Note - If you choose option 3, you must configure a single drive on a RAID volume and make that volume bootable. Otherwise, the internal HBA will not be able to identify the drive for the installation.
If your server is equipped with OSA, proceed to Configure RAID (OSA) and configure RAID on a single drive.
If your server is not equipped with OSA, proceed to Configuring RAID Volumes (LSI BIOS Utilities) and configure RAID on a single drive.
If your server has the SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z HBA (see HBA and RAID Support) installed and you want to create a RAID volume level 5, 6, 10, 50, or 60 using the drive on which you plan to install the OS, proceed to Configuring RAID Volumes (LSI BIOS Utilities) and configure RAID on a single drive.
Note - OSA only supports RAID 0 and 1 for the SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z HBA.
Option 4 – If your server has the SGX-SAS6-INT-Z HBA (see HBA and RAID Support) installed and you want to perform a fresh OS installation, but you do not want to configure the server's drives into RAID volumes, use this option.
Proceed to install the OS. See Installing a Supported OS
