Page 15 highlights

RAID Features Note: The Hot Plug is not supported under Linux currently. Fix will be in future release. 2.4.6 SCU & AHCI drive roaming Intel® RSTe will support the ability to move RAID volumes on SATA drives between the AHCI and SCU controllers and have RAID arrays and volumes recognized, available and bootable from the common metadata. 2.4.7 Volume Roaming between Linux* and Windows* Intel® RSTe will support the ability to move RAID data volumes (configured appropriately) between Linux* and Windows* environments and the RAID data volumes will be recognized and available for use. 2.4.8 SGPIO on AHCI Controller Intel® RSTe will support enclosure management, compliant to SFF-8485, to identify drive location or unit failures on the AHCI controller. 2.4.9 SGPIO on SCU Intel® RSTe will support enclosure management, compliant to SFF-8485, to identify drive location or unit failures on the SCU. 2.4.10 NCQ (AHCI) and CQ (SCU) support Intel® RSTe will support Native Command Queuing (SATA AHCI) and Command Queuing (SAS SCU). 2.4.11 SCSI Enclosure Service (SES) v2 Intel® RSTe will provide support management of enclosures that are compliant with SES (SCSI Enclosure Services) v2 attached to the SCU controller. Intel® RSTe will also support in-band management to SES compliant expanders attached to the SCU. Note: SES is not supported under Windows* and will be supported in a future release of Intel® RSTe. 2.5 Software RAID Functional Support This section will focus on RAID specific features unless the particular requirement specifies differently. 2.5.1 Matrix RAID Intel® RSTe will support up to two logical RAID volumes on the same array. A RAID array simply refers to the set of disk drives that can be formed into a RAID volume. 2.5.2 RAID 0/1/5/10 Volumes Intel® RSTe will support base level RAID volumes on both drives connected to the AHCI or SCU controllers. RAID volume spanning across the AHCI and SCU controllers is not supported. SAS RAID 5 is not supported on SCU controller. 6 Intel® RSTe User's Guide
