The servers provide hardware RAID support through on-board SAS3 RAID controllers. Each controller enables you to create up to two logical disk volumes consisting of two or more redundant disk drives. The following table identifies the hardware RAID controllers built into each server.

You can use the RAID management utilities described here with the on-board SAS3 controllers provided in these servers.
You can use FCode-based commands provided with the on-board controller to display targets and manage logical volumes on the server. You enter these commands at the OpenBoot ok prompt.
The examples of RAID shown in this document rely on the controller's FCode-based commands, unless otherwise specified.
You can use the raidconfig commands contained in the Oracle Hardware Management Pack. Use the Oracle Server CLI Tools component to create and manage RAID volumes on the server. See the Oracle Server CLI Tools for Oracle Solaris 11.3 User's Guide for more information about raidconfig.
If raidconfig is not available on your server, see Oracle Hardware Management Pack for Oracle Solaris 11.3 Installation Guide for installation information.
You can create RAIDs and manage existing RAIDs with Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center. If you reconfigure an existing RAID with Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center, the contents of the disks in the original RAID will be lost.
