Using ORCA
1.Power up the server.
POST runs, and all controllers in the server are initialized one at a time in the current boot order sequence. If a controller is connected to one or more hard drives, an ORCA prompt message appears during the initialization process for that controller.
2.At the ORCA prompt for the controller that you want to configure, press the F8 key. The ORCA main menu appears, enabling you to create, view, or delete a logical drive.
To create a logical drive using ORCA:
1.Select Create Logical Drive.
The screen displays a list of all available (unconfigured) physical drives and the valid RAID options for the system.
2.Use the Arrow keys, Spacebar, and Tab key to navigate around the screen and set up the logical drive, including an online spare drive if one is required.
