Before You Begin
For systems with the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Internal HBA, you must create a bootable volume on a drive before installing an OS. The system does not recognize a drive unless it has a volume on it created by the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Internal HBA. If there is more than a single volume on the drive you intend to use as the boot drive, set the volume that you will install the OS on as the boot device.
See Launching Oracle System Assistant.
The Oracle System Assistant System Overview screen appears.
To switch between UEFI and legacy boot modes, see the Oracle x86 Administration Guide for X4 Series Servers at http://www.oracle.com/goto/x86AdminDiag/docs.
The RAID Configuration screen appears.
This is the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID Internal HBA.
Oracle System Assistant supports RAID-0, RAID-1, and RAID-10.
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 appears 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.
The Disk Details dialog box appears.
The Disk Details dialog box closes.
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.
