Setting a controller as the boot controller
The following procedure enables you only to set a controller as the boot controller. If you also want to adjust the boot order settings of other controllers in the system, use RBSU instead ("Setting the controller order" on page 17).
IMPORTANT: A controller that is to be set as the boot controller must be connected to a logical drive.
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.
As soon as you see the ORCA prompt for the controller that you want to set as the boot controller, continue with the next step.
2.Press the F8 key.
The ORCA main menu appears. If the controller is configured with a logical drive, one of the menu options is to set the controller as the boot controller.
3.Select the appropriate menu option, and follow any subsequent
4.If you want to configure or reconfigure an array on this controller, you can do this while you are still in ORCA. For further information, see the ORCA procedure in the array configuration section ("Using ORCA" on page 13).
If you do not want to configure an array at this time or if you intend to use a different utility to configure the array, exit from ORCA, and then restart the server for the new boot controller setting to take effect.
