1. Boot OpenVMS and log in to a privileged account.
2. Use the MSA Utility to verify that the controller is installed and operating. For example:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:MSA$UTIL
MSA> SET ADAPTER PKB0

Configuring a Smart Array Series Controller as a boot device
This section describes the additional steps that you will need to follow to enable your system to
boot from a Smart Array Series Controller.
NOTE: Use the Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA) to create the logical drives. See
Configuring the controller using ORCA offline.
Configuring the controller using ORCA offline
The Smart Array Controllers support Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA) on HP
Integrity servers. When a server is powered on, the Power-On Self Test (POST) runs, and any
array controllers in the system are initialized. If the array controller supports ORCA, POST
temporarily halts, and an ORCA prompt message is displayed for approximately five seconds.
If ORCA is not supported, the prompt message is not displayed, and the system continues with
the startup sequence.
