5.3 LSI Logic MPT Setup Utility (P7F-C/SAS model only) The LSI Logic MPT Setup Utility is an integrated RAID solution that allows you to allows you to create the following RAID set(s) from SAS hard disk drives supported by the LSI1068E SAS controller: • RAID 1 (Integrated Mirroring) • RAID 1E (Integrated Mirroring Enhanced) • RAID 0 (Integrated Striping) 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 ten disks, or seven mirrored disks plus two hot spare disks. 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 remirrored. Creating Integrated Mirroring volumes • You may use disks of different sized 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 disk drives in one volume.
