Option ROM Configuration for Arrays

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 will default to the standard configuration.
For more information regarding array controller configuration, refer to the controller user guide.
For more information regarding the default configurations that ORCA uses, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup

Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD.
