Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) supports three to eight disks, or seven mirrored disks plus a hot spare disk. The IM feature supports hot swap capability. When a disk in an IM volume fails, you can easily restore the volume, and the swapped disk is automatically re-mirrored. Creating Integrated Mirroring Volumes • You may use disks of different sizes in IM and IME volumes; however, the size of the smallest disk determines the "logical" size of each member disk. • Do not combine Serial ATA and SAS disks in one volume. • The RAID and BIOS setup screens shown in these sections are for reference only and may not exactly match the items on your screen. To create an IM volume 1. Turn on the system after installing all SAS hard disk drives. 2. During POST, press to enter the SAS configuration utility.

LSI Logic MPT Setup Utility
(For KFN32-D SLI/SAS only)
The
LSI Logic MPT Setup Utility is an integrated RAID solution that
allows you to create the following RAID set(s) from SAS hard disk drives
supported by the LSI1068 PCI-X SAS controller:
• RAID 1 (Integrated Mirroring)
• RAID 1E (Integrated Mirroring Enhanced)
• RAID 0 (Integrated Stripping)
5.3.1 Integrated Mirroring
Overview
The Integrated Mirroring (IM) feature supports simultaneous mirrored
volumes with two disks (IM). Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) supports
three to eight disks, or seven mirrored disks plus a hot spare disk.
The IM feature supports hot swap capability. When a disk in an IM
volume fails, you can easily restore the volume, and the swapped disk is
automatically re-mirrored.
Creating Integrated Mirroring Volumes
•
You may use disks of different sizes in IM and IME volumes; however,
the size of the smallest disk determines the “logical” size of each
member disk.
•
Do not combine Serial ATA and SAS disks in one volume.
•
The RAID and BIOS setup screens shown in these sections are for
reference only and may not exactly match the items on your screen.
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.
