Option Rom Configuration For Arrays (Orca); Smart Components For Firmware Updates - HP StorageWorks D2700 User Manual

Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA)

Before installing an operating system, you can use the ORCA utility to create the first logical drive,
assign RAID levels, and establish online spare configurations.
The utility also provides support for the following functions:
• Reconfiguring one or more logical drives
• Viewing the current logical drive configuration
• Deleting a logical drive configuration
• Setting the controller to be the boot controller
If you do not use the utility, ORCA defaults to the standard configuration.
For more information about array controller configuration, see the controller user guide. For more
information regarding the default configurations that ORCA uses, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility
user guide.
