Configuring RAID Using the BIOS With the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Internal HBA

The BIOS RAID configuration utilities support configuring RAID with the server set to UEFI BIOS Boot Mode and Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. A separate utility is provided for each boot mode.

Note - Some operating systems and virtual machine software only support the Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. For a list of operating systems and virtual machine software that do not support UEFI BIOS Boot Mode, see UEFI BIOS.
