For a system with an Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS RAID PCIe HBA, Internal (7110116, 7110117) installed, you have the option to enable JBOD mode so that the underlying operating system can have the access to a disk directly without creating a RAID volume first. If JBOD mode is not enabled, the underlying operating system is not able to see the disk until the disk is included in a RAID volume.
You can enable JBOD mode on either a disk or controller. If you enable JBOD mode on the controller, all the disks on that controller will be in JBOD mode. Disk JBOD mode cannot be enabled until its controller has JBOD mode enabled.
raidconfig modify controller -c controller --jbod enabled|disabled
When you enable JBOD mode on the controller, all the disks on that controller will be in JBOD mode. Disks can then have JBOD mode enabled or disabled individually. If you disable JBOD mode on a controller, any disks in JBOD mode will have JBOD mode disabled.
raidconfig modify disk -d disk --jbod enabled|disabled
The following example shows output for JBOD mode enabled on c0, then disabled on just disk 7.
