2.2LSI Corporation MPT Setup Utility

The LSI Corporation MPT Setup Utility is an integrated RAID solution that allows you to create the following RAID set(s) from SAS hard disk drives supported by the LSI SAS 1064E controller:

•RAID 1 (Integrated Mirroring)

•RAID 1E (Integrated Mirroring Enhanced)

•RAID 0 (Integrated Striping)

• You may use disks of different sizes in IM and IME volumes; however, the size of the smallest disk determines the “logical” size of each member disk.

•DO NOT combine Serial ATA and SAS disk drives in one volume.

•The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not exactly match the items on your screen due to the controller version difference.

2.2.1Integrated Mirroring volume

The Integrated Mirroring (IM) feature supports simultaneous mirrored volumes with two disks (IM).

The IM feature supports hot swap capability, so when a disk in an IM volume fails, you can easily restore the volume, and the swapped disk is automatically re-mirrored.

To create an IM volume:

1.Turn on the system after installing all SAS hard disk drives.

2.During POST, press <Ctrl+C> to enter the SAS configuration utility.
