Setting the Controller Order

CAUTION: Not all servers support RBSU. Do not flash an RBSU-ROM image onto a server that is already configured with SCU unless the update instructions specifically state that upgrading from SCU to RBSU is supported. If the upgrade is not supported, the consequences of upgrading are unpredictable and you may lose data.

To use RBSU:

1.Power up the server.

2.Press the F9 key when prompted during system startup. The main RBSU screen is displayed.

3.Configure the system. (For detailed instructions, refer to the ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide.)

4.Select Boot Controller Order on the main RBSU screen and follow the on-screen prompts to set the boot controller.

5.When you have finished using the utility, press the Esc key, and then press the F10 key to confirm that you want to exit RBSU.

Using ORCA

Part of the startup sequence of a server is the Power-On Self-Test (POST). If the array controller in the server supports ORCA, POST temporarily halts and an ORCA prompt message is displayed for about five seconds. (If ORCA is not supported, the prompt message is not displayed and the system continues with the startup sequence.)

1.Power up the server and let the system startup sequence begin.

2.While the prompt message is displayed, press the F8 key to start ORCA.

3.On the Main Menu screen, select Select as Boot Controller and follow the prompts to set the boot controller for the system.

If you want to use ORCA to create logical drives, you do not need to exit the utility yet. Continue using ORCA as described in Chapter 5.
