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 provides support for the following functions:

Configuring one or more logical drives using physical drives on one or more
SCSI buses

Viewing the current logical drive configuration

Deleting a logical drive configuration



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