P0>>> set HEAP_EXPAND 2MB
P0>>> initialize
P0>>> set BOOTBIOS pya0
P0>>> initialize
It might be possible that the first 2 commands help for the configuration. Make sure you have a supported SRM release.

Re: running bios pya0 to configure 5300A raid controller
Can you describe your hardware setup a little bit?

Re: running bios pya0 to configure 5300A raid controller
If this is a brand new system like a DS25 with an internal scsi shelf and disks there, the internal shelf is probably connected to plain ordinary scsi adapter on system and the 5300A does not any disks therefore.

Re: running bios pya0 to configure 5300A raid controller
Check CONSOLE setting in SRM and make sure you are using correct console.
And press F8 at right moment but if 5300A does not see any disks at all, it will not give you chance at all.
Maybe you could temporarily move the scsi cable to a SCSI adapter like KZPCA just to check the shelf and disks are ok then move it back to KZPDC and try also the other channel on the KZPDC.

Re: running bios pya0 to configure 5300A raid controller
* What model of ES40 are you using?
* What storage enclosure?
* What disk drives?
The SmartArray 5300A is officially supported only on EV68 ES40 systems--see http://h18002.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11540_na/11540_na.HTML
That said, at my last job I was able to use it on the older 500 MHz EV6 ES40 systems. My memory is rusty--this was over a year ago--but read on for what I remember.
I remember that at first I didn't have a supported StorageWorks MSA30 or 4300 enclosure and only had the old "blue brick" drives. ACU-XE could see the controller but (understandably) no drives.
I'm not certain that I was ever able to get ORCA to start up correctly on the EV6 ES40. (ORCA is the name of the utility you get to via "run bios" against this controller.)
That's not to say that the 5300A wouldn't work at all. Eventually I got ahold of a 4300 enclosure with Ultra 320 drives. Using ACU-XE I was then able to configure RAIDsets to my heart's content. (As I said above, my memory isn't quite clear on whether ORCA worked at this point.)
Later I tried the same controller and drives on a EV68 ES40 and I'm certain that both ORCA and ACU-XE worked.
