Configuring X6240 Server Module RAID
Drives
After you configure the Solaris OS, you might need to configure the RAID drives.
RAID Drive Overview
The Sun Blade X6240 server module has two optional RAID expansion module
(REM) cards. You can access RAID configuration through the REM card BIOS. To
access the LSI REM card BIOS, press CTRL-C during the system boot. To access the
Sun StorageTek REM card BIOS, press CTRL-A during the system boot.
The server module has the preinstalled OS on hard disk drive 0 (HDD0). When the
Solaris OS installation is complete, the option to upgrade your single-disk OS to a
mirrored RAID solution is available.
The configuration procedure is different for each supported REM card. For example,
a Sun StorageTek REM card has many more options for RAID configuration than
does an LSI REM card. Configure the RAID depending on your needs as shown in
TABLE 3-3 .
Note – Configuring RAID for the Sun Blade X6240 server module is optional. By
default the Solaris preinstalled image is configured in a non-RAID configuration. If
anything other than a basic mirror RAID is required, it is recommended to perform
a fresh install of the Solaris Operating System (or other OS) in the desired RAID
configuration.
