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
• Selecting the boot volume

If you do not use the utility, ORCA will default to the standard configuration.

For more information regarding the default configurations that ORCA uses, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website.

For more information about the controller and its features, see the HP Smart Array Controllers for HP ProLiant Servers User Guide on the HP website. To configure arrays, see the Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference Guide on the HP website.
