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 RBSU Information Library
