9.3.5 SAS Topology Menu
The SAS Topology menu shows the properties of Adapters, PHYs,
attached devices, expanders, and enclosures. The SAS Topology menu
presents a view of the adapter’s SAS hierarchy, as shown in
Figure 9.4 .
You can scroll right to view additional information about the devices (see
Figure 9.5 and Figure 9.6 ).
Boot Order The order in which adapters will boot when the system has more than one adapter.
Up to four installed adapters may be selected as bootable.
Boot Support Indicates whether an adapter is eligible for LSI software control or whether it is
reserved for control by non-LSI software. The options are:
•
Enabled BIOS & OS (default): Both the BIOS and OS driver will control the
adapter.
•
Enabled BIOS Only: The BIOS will control the adapter; OS drivers will not
control it. Some OS drivers do not support this setting. For example, there is no
way to disable an adapter in a Windows driver.
•
Enabled OS Only: The BIOS will not control the adapter; the OS driver will
control the adapter.
•
Disabled: The BIOS will not control the adapter when loaded. However, the
adapter will still be visible through the Configuration Protocol.
Changes to this setting are reflected in the Status field on the main Adapter List
menu. The new setting does not take effect until the system is rebooted.
