Figure 1: Typical Integrated Mirroring Implementation
The following figure shows the logical view and physical view of an Integrated
Mirroring volume. Each logical block address (LBA) is mirrored on the second disk.
Figure 2: Integrated Mirroring Volume
You can configure an Integrated Mirroring Enhanced volume with up to 10 mirrored
disks. The following figure shows the logical view and physical view of an Integrated
Mirroring Enhanced volume with three mirrored disks. The firmware writes each
mirrored stripe to a disk and mirrors it to an adjacent disk. RAID1E is another term for
this type of mirrored configuration.
