Configuring an Array Using ORCA When a computer system is powered up, part of the startup sequence is the Power-On Self-Test (POST). Any array controllers that are in the system are initialized while POST is running. If the array controller supports ORCA, POST temporarily halts and an ORCA prompt message is displayed for about five seconds. (If ORCA is not supported, the prompt message is not displayed and the system continues with the startup sequence.) While the prompt is displayed, press the F8 key to start ORCA. The ORCA main menu is displayed, allowing you to select the boot controller for the system, or to create, view, or delete a logical drive. Figure 7-1: ORCA main menu screen To create a logical drive: 1. Select Create Logical Drive. The screen displays a list of all available (unconfigured) physical drives and the valid RAID options for your system. NOTE: You can create only one logical drive at a time. 2. Use the arrow keys, space bar, and tab key to navigate around the screen and set up your logical drive, including a spare drive if required. Compaq Smart Array 5300 Controller User Guide 7-3
