Configure RAID (Oracle Hardware Management Pack)
Ensure the following:
-
The disk drives have been properly installed on the server.
For more information, review the server Service Manual.
-
The host bus adapter (HBA) installed on the server is supported.
A list of supported HBAs is provided in the server Product Notes.
-
If the server is running a UNIX-based platform, you have
root
permission. -
If the server is running the Oracle Solaris operating system, note the following:
-
On Oracle Solaris,
raidconfig
is not compatible with theraidctl
CLI tool.raidconfig
supports SAS2, but theraidctl
tool does not. -
For servers running Oracle Solaris, after hot-plugging any device, run the
devfsadm -C
command to reenumerate all of the system device nodes before running theraidconfig
command.
-
Caution:
Changing the RAID configuration erases all the data on the affected drives, including the OS. If you change the RAID configuration on a boot drive, you must reinstall the OS.
