Storage Drive Configuration

Your server is equipped with an Oracle Storage 12 Gb/s SAS PCIe RAID HBA, internal
(7110116, 7110117). This HBA requires a RAID volume to install and boot an operating system
(OS). To learn more about the HBA, see the Oracle Storage 12 Gb/s SAS PCIE RAID HBA,
Internal Installation Guide at
html.
To install an OS, you must ensure that the drive where you will install the OS is visible to the
system. This requires that a RAID volume be created on the drive.
If you do not wish to use a RAID array, configure a drive as a RAID 0 volume.
To check the RAID configuration and to configure the drive, see
BIOS RAID Configuration Utilities" on page 104
