Sun Intel Adaptec RAID User’s Guide C H A P T E R 20 Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility This chapter describes how to use the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility (ARCU), a BIOS-based utility used to create and manage controllers, disk drives and other devices, and arrays on systems equipped with an Adaptec-based disk controller. It contains the following sections: • • • • • Caution - On servers equipped with an Adaptec disk controller, all drives must be part of a volume before they can be used by the BIOS or the OS. Adaptec controllers support single-drive volumes that can be used for drives that are not part of a RAID array. See for more information.
