In this example, the SAS/SATA DEVICE SUMMARY lists the Connector/Enclosure/Bay for each
physical disk attached to the Smart Array Controller. The information provided for each of the
physical disks, following the SAS/SATA DEVICE SUMMARY, indicates that all of the physical
disks have firmware version HPD4 installed except for 1I:1:9, which has version HPD3.
Configuring a Smart Array Series Controller as a Boot Device
This section describes the additional steps you must follow to enable your system to boot from
logical drives on a Smart Array Series Controller.
NOTE: To create logical drives, use the Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA) . See
“Configuring a Logical Drive Using ORCA Offline” (page 22). For more information, see the HP
Smart Array P400 and P800 Controller for Integrity Servers Support Guide at:

Planning to Install HP-UX on a Logical Drive
On each Smart Array Controller, you can set up any number of its logical drives as boot devices.
For example, if you have two controllers in a system, and each controller has three logical drives
configured on it, you can set up two logical drives on one controller as boot devices and all three
logical drives on the other controller as boot devices, giving you a total of five boot devices.
Before you set up a Smart Array Controller as a boot device, consider the following:
• When you use a Smart Array logical drive as a boot device running HP-UX, you are limited
in the configuration tasks you can perform with the saconfig configuration utility. The
saconfig utility sees the logical drive as being in use, so configuration changes affecting
that drive are not allowed until the drive is no longer the boot device.
• When you are not using a logical drive as a boot device, if you clear the controller’s
configuration the logical drive is also deleted. If you want a logical drive to remain set up
