Appendix C RAID Controller Considerations
How To Launch Option ROM-Based Controller Utilities
To alter the RAID configurations on your hard drives, you can use your host-based utilities that you
install on top of your host OS, or you can use the LSI option ROM-based utilities that are installed on
the server.
When you boot the server and you have quite boot disabled (see How to Disable Quiet Boot For CIMC
Firmware Earlier Than Release 1.2(1), page C-2), information about your controller is displayed along
with the prompts for the key combination to launch the option ROM-based utilities for your controller.
Watch for the prompt for your controller during verbose boot:
• The prompt for LSI controller card utility is Ctrl-H.
• The prompt for the onboard Intel ICH10R controller utility is Ctrl-M.
For More Information
The LSI utilities have help documentation for more information about using the utilities.
For basic information on RAID and how to use the LSI utilities, see the documentation at LSI.com:
