Configuring RAID Using the BIOS RAID
Configuration Utilities
You can configure RAID using Oracle System Assistant or, if Oracle System Assistant
is not available, you can use the BIOS RAID configuration utilities that reside in the
HBA firmware. The procedures for configuring RAID differ depending on the type of
HBA installed the server.
For instructions on how to use these utilities, see the following sections:

for each boot mode.

Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. For a list of operating systems and virtual machine software
that support UEFI BIOS Boot Mode, see
