Creating RAID for the Sun StorageTek Controller
Card
This procedure provides an outline of the steps used to create a RAID array on
systems with a Sun StorageTek controller using the BIOS utility.
If your system has a Sun StorageTek controller card, you must configure all disks in
the system. Any drive which is not part of an array must be configured as a single-
disk array, otherwise known as a volume.
Caution – In systems with Sun StoragTek controllers, you must complete the
following procedure for all disks, whether they are going to be part of RAID arrays
or not. The BIOS cannot access disks unless they are configured as arrays or single-
disk volumes.
For detailed instructions, see the Sun Intel Adaptec BIOS RAID Utility User's
Manual and the other Sun StorageTek documentation at:
