Use Oracle System Assistant to prepare a server hard drive for an OS installation by creating a bootable RAID 0 volume.
Before You Begin
You should have already selected a BIOS boot mode (UEFI or Legacy) from the BIOS Setup Utility.
Not all supported operating systems support UEFI mode. For a list of operating systems that support UEFI mode, see UEFI BIOS.
For instructions for switching the BIOS boot mode from UEFI to Legacy BIOS, or Legacy BIOS to UEFI, refer to Oracle X4 Series Servers Administration Guide (http://www.oracle.com/goto/x86AdminDiag/docs).
See Setting Up Software and Firmware Using Oracle System Assistant.
The Oracle System Assistant System Overview screen appears.
The RAID Configuration screen appears.
This is the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe Internal HBA.
The Create Volume dialog box appears.
Entering a volume name is optional. If you do not name the volume, Oracle System Assistant creates a volume without a name.
The Creating RAID Volume information box appears.
After the volume is created, it is displayed in the Created Volumes table.
The Volume Details dialog box appears.
If you did not enter a volume name earlier, the Volume Details dialog box gives you a second chance to do so. If you entered a volume name earlier, you can modify it here; however, you cannot delete the name entirely.
The Set Volume For Boot confirmation dialog appears.
The RAID Configuration screen appears and lists the RAID volume as the current boot device.
This completes the RAID configuration task.
To select any other Oracle System Assistant task, click the corresponding button in the left panel menu. For example, after configuring RAID, you might want to select the Install OS task and perform an operating system installation.
To return to the Oracle System Assistant System Overview screen, click System Information in the left menu panel.
To quit Oracle System Assistant, click Exit.
