5.4.1RAID 1 volume

The RAID 1 feature supports simultaneous mirrored volumes with two disks.

The RAID 1 feature supports hot swap capability, so when a disk in an RAID 1 volume fails, you can easily restore the volume, and the swapped disk is automatically re-mirrored.

To create a RAID 1 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.
