Locating the Server Module Serial Number
Use this section to configure a storage drive for OS installation if you have the SG-SAS6-R-REM-Z (also known as Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS REM RAID HBA, Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA) installed on your server module.
To create a RAID volume with the disk before installing an operating system, choose one of the following methods:
Configuring Storage Drives: SG-SAS6-R-REM-Z (Oracle System Assistant)
Configure Storage Drives (LSI WebBIOS Configuration Utility)
The Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA name is supported by Oracle System Assistant.
The Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA set up in Oracle System Assistant has the following options:
Supports RAID 0 with one or more hard drives
Supports RAID 1 with two or more hard drives per volume
Can set a volume as a boot device
Can display if a volume is the boot device
Can display the state of a disk (good, bad, hotspare)
See Configure Storage Drives SG-SAS6-REM-Z (Oracle System Assistant) for instructions on preparing the storage drives with Oracle System Assistant.
