Getting Server Firmware and Software Updates
Use this section to configure a storage drive for OS installation if you have the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS REM HBA (SG-SAS6-REM-Z) host bus adapter (HBA) installed on your Sun Blade X4-2B server module.
Creating a RAID volume is optional. You do not need to set the boot disk for the SG-SAS6-REM-Z HBA. For a drive connected to the SG-SAS6-REM-Z HBA, you can install the operating system on an individual disk without creating a RAID volume. The system BIOS automatically recognizes the disk as bootable. The disk will appear in the system BIOS utility as a bootable disk.
The REM SGXSAS6INTZ HBA cannot:
Create a RAID volume level 5, 6, 10, 50, or 60 using Oracle System Assistant
Set a bootable drive
Display a bootable drive
Display the disk state (for example: good, bad, hotspare)
To create a RAID volume with the disk before installing an operating system, choose one of the following methods:
