2.2 LSI WebBIOS Configuration Utility The LSI WebBIOS Configuration Utility (CU) is an integrated RAID solution that allows you to create RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60 set(s) from SAS hard disk drives supported by the LSI SAS 1078 controller. You can also use the WebBIOS CU to do the following tasks: • Create physical arrays and virtual disks for storage configurations • Delete virtual disks • Migrate a storage configuration to a different RAID level • Detect configuration mismatches • Import a foreign configuration • Display adapter, virtual disk, and physical drive properties. • Scan devices connected to the controller • Initialize virtual disks • Check configurations for data consistency • PIKE 1078 does not support the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) function. • You may use disks of different sizes; 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. • The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not exactly match the items on your screen due to the controller version difference. 2.2.1 Starting the WebBIOS CU Follow these steps to start the WebBIOS CU and access the main screen. 1.
