Configure RAID (Oracle Hardware Management
Pack)
Before you begin, 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 Windows, you have administrator privileges.
■
If the server is running the Oracle Solaris operating system, note the following:
■
On Oracle Solaris, raidconfig is not compatible with the raidctl CLI tool.
raidconfig supports SAS2, but the raidctl 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 the raidconfig
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.
