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.
