The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for the first time. During the power-up sequence, in many cases the system ROM automatically configures the entire system without needing any intervention. During this process, the ORCA Utility, in most cases, automatically configures the array with a default setting based on the number of drives connected to the server.

NOTE: If the boot drive contains logical volumes, or if more than six drives are installed on the system, ORCA does not automatically configure the array. If this occurs, you must run ORCA to configure the array settings. |
By default, the auto-configuration process configures the system for a default operating system. To change any default settings in the auto-configuration process, such as the settings for language, operating system, and primary boot controller, execute RBSU by pressing the F9 key after system POST. After the settings are selected according to your preference, exit RBSU and reboot the server.
