Configure RAID (OSA)
OSA is the easiest way to configure RAID on the server.
Note -
If you are using OSA to configure RAID, you can only configure RAID volumes to
level 0 or 1. To configure other RAID levels, you must use the LSI
utilities.
-
Start OSA.
See Start OSA.
The OSA main window appears.
-
Click Configure Hardware.
The Hardware Configuration window appears.
-
Click the RAID Configuration tab.
The RAID Configuration window appears.
Note -
Your screen might appear slightly different based on the type of HBA
installed in your server.
-
From the HBA drop-down menu, select the HBA.
Select one of these:
-
From the RAID Level drop-down menu, select RAID-0 or RAID-1.
-
In the Available Disks table, select the drives that you want to add to the
RAID configuration and click Create Volume.
-
Wait for the RAID volume to be created.
The Volume Details dialog box appears.
-
In the Volume Details dialog box, type the volume name and if desired, check
the Set As Boot Target to make the volume bootable.
Note -
If the server has the SGX-SAS6-INT-Z HBA installed, setting the RAID
volume to bootable is not required.
-
Click Save & Close.
The RAID Configuration window reappears.
Note -
If you want to delete a volume, select it and click Delete Volume.
-
Click System Information to return to the OSA main screen.
This completes the RAID configuration task.
