Re: configure RAID 1+0 in BL860C i2
You need the device index too, so run "devices" from the shell.
Other way:
Download the firmware bundle and use "saupdate" to switch the mode.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

SolutionExample for switching from HBA to RAID mode:
EFI> drivers
T D
D Y C I
R P F A
V VERSION E G G #D #C DRIVER NAME IMAGE NAME
== ======== = = = == == =================================== ===================
...
98 00000354 B X X 1 1 Smart Array SAS Driver v3.54 MemoryMapped(0xB,0x
...
EFI> devices
C T D
T Y C I
R P F A
L E G G #P #D #C Device Name
== = = = == == == =============================================================
...
B4 B X X 1 2 1 Smart Array P410i Controller
...
EFI> drvcfg -s 98 b4
---> ORCA will open
or
EFI> saupdate set_mode all raid
WARNING:Changing controller mode could result in DATA LOSS!!!
Key in 'YES' to continue or 'NO' to quit:YES
Changing mode of the controller at 0:1:0:0 to RAID
Resetting and reinitializing controller,it may take several minutes
Controller mode change successful
EFI> reconnect -r
HP Smart Array P410i Controller (version 6.22) 0 Logical Drives
Currently the controller is in RAID mode
Depending on the firmware ORCA is only accessible if the controller is already in RAID mode!
So you probably need first to run "saupdate" for toggling the mode, then ORCA for configuring the RAID.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: configure RAID 1+0 in BL860C i2
Hi Torsten,
Thank you very much for your response.
But I am still not able to create RAID as per your provided steps:
I followed the following
Shell> drivers
T D
D Y C I
R P F A
V VERSION E G G #D #C DRIVER NAME IMAGE NAME
== ======== = = = == == =================================== ===================
16 0000000A B - - 1 63 PCI Bus Driver PciBusDxe
1A 00000014 B - - 1 1 Serial 16550 Driver Serial
A3 00000350 B - - 1 3 Smart Array SAS Driver v3.50 MemoryMapped(0xB,0x
Shell> devices
C T D
T Y C I
R P F A
L E G G #P #D #C Device Name
== = = = == == == =============================================================
5F R - - - 1 63 PcieRoot(0x30304352)
76 D - - 3 - -<UNKNOWN>
77 D - - 2 - -<UNKNOWN>
A1 B - - 1 2 3 Smart Array P410i Controller
Shell> drvcfg -s a3 a1
Set Configuration Options
drvcfg: Driver image handle [A3] does not support Driver Configuration Protocol
Then I tried saupdate also and get error there as well:
Shell> saupdate set_mode all raid
'saupdate' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file
Please help how to fix this now.
Many thanks for your support in advance.
Regards
Syed

Re: configure RAID 1+0 in BL860C i2
Read carefully:
>> Download the firmware bundle and use "saupdate" to switch the mode.
Extract the files, copy to an usb stick and run from EFI.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
