Getting Server Firmware and Software Updates
You can use the Oracle System Assistant RAID Configuration task to prepare a disk for operating system installation. Oracle System Assistant is the easiest way to prepare the disk for operating system installation.
To prepare server hard drives for an OS installation, create a bootable volume for the REM. To configure the SG-SAS6-R-REM-Z, in Oracle System Assistant System, use RAID 0 or 1 only.
Before You Begin
Verify that SG-SAS6-R-REM-Z is installed on the server. See Identifying REM Host Bus Adapters.
See Accessing Oracle System Assistant.
