Getting Server Firmware and Software Updates
Oracle System Assistant is the easiest way to create a RAID 0 volume when two or more hard drives and a SGXSAS6INTZ HBA are installed on the server module. To prepare server hard drives for an OS installation, create a bootable volume for the REM SGXSAS6INTZ HBA using RAID 0.
See Configure Storage Drives (LSI WebBIOS Configuration Utility) for more set up options.
Before You Begin
Verify that SG-SAS6-REM-Z is installed on the server. See Identifying REM Host Bus Adapters.
See Accessing Oracle System Assistant.
The Oracle System Assistant System Overview screen appears.
The Configure Hardware RAID Configuration screen appears.
SG-SAS6-REM-Z (SGXSAS6INTZ)
