vUse the LSI Configuration Utility program to:
–Perform a
–Create an array of hard disk drives with or without a
–Set protocol parameters on hard disk drives
The integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports RAID arrays. You can use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure RAID 1 (IM), RAID 1E (IME), and RAID 0 (IS) for a single pair of attached devices. If you install a different type of RAID adapter, follow the instructions in the documentation that comes with the adapter to view or change settings for attached devices.
When you are using the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure and manage arrays, consider the following information:
vThe integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports the following features:
–Integrated Mirroring (IM) with
Use this option to create an integrated array of two disks plus up to two optional hot spares. All data on the primary disk can be migrated.
–Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) with
Use this option to create an integrated mirror enhanced array of three to eight disks, including up to two optional hot spares. All data on the array disks will be deleted.
–Integrated Striping (IS) (also known as RAID 0)
Use this option to create an integrated striping array of two to eight disks. All data on the array disks will be deleted.
