Set RAID Volume (Virtual Drive) as Bootable SG-SAS6-R-REM-Z HBA (LSI WebBIOS Utility)

Perform this procedure to make a RAID volume (virtual drive) bootable only when you have created more than one RAID volume (virtual drive) with an SG-SAS6-R-REM-Z HBA using the LSI BIOS Configuration Utility, as described in Configure Storage Drives (LSI WebBIOS Configuration Utility).

Do not perform this procedure if you have:

• An SG-SAS6-REM-Z HBA installed.

• Used Oracle System Assistant to create a RAID volume (virtual drive) and made that volume bootable.

• Created only one RAID volume (virtual drive) using the LSI BIOS Configuration Utility.

Before You Begin

Create at least one RAID volume (virtual drive) on the SG-SAS6-R-REM-Z HBA using the LSI BIOS Configuration Utility. See Configure Storage Drives (LSI WebBIOS Configuration Utility).

1. Ensure that the server is in standby power mode.
2. Access the LSI SG-SAS6-R-REM-Z HBA BIOS.

   Choose one of the following methods.

   • Skip this step if you have accessed the WebBIOS screen.

     ---

     Note - If you have just created a virtual drive using Configure Storage Drives (LSI WebBIOS Configuration Utility), you might already be at the WebBIOS screen. If you have exited the WebBIOS utility, restart the WebBIOS main menu.

     ---

   • If your system BIOS is running in UEFI boot mode, access the LSI BIOS through the system BIOS Setup utility.

     Refer to the Oracle X4 Series Server Administration Guide for more information.

   • If your system BIOS is running in Legacy boot mode:
     1. Boot the system, watch the messages as they appear on the screen, and wait for the LSI banner.
     2. When prompted on the banner page, press the Control+H key combination.
3. Access the WebBIOS main menu.

   The Adapter Selection screen appears.

   
   
4. In the Adapter Selection screen, click Start.

   The MegaRAID BIOS Config Utility Virtual Configuration screen appears.

   
   
5. Click Virtual Drives.

   The Virtual Drives screen appears.

   
   
6. Select the virtual drive that you want to make bootable.
7. Click Set Boot Drive, and then click Go.

   When the operation is successfully completed, the Set Boot Drive value for this virtual drive shows (current=selected VD).
