http://www.sun.com/servers/netra/x4200/specs.xml says you only have SAS
and NOT u320 SCSI (unless an add-on u320 SCSI card is installed).
LSI u320 SCSI cards can  support RAID0/1 but HP-UX didn't ship with RAID
enabled because of Firmware bugs (which may have been fixed in the mean time).

If you post "lspci -vt" and/or "lspci" output, it would be clear
what's in the box.
