5.2 Creating IS Volumes The SAS BIOS CU is part of the Fusion-MPT BIOS. When the BIOS loads during boot and you see the message about the LSI Configuration Utility, press Ctrl-C to start it. After you do this, the message changes to: Please wait, invoking SAS Configuration Utility... After a brief pause, the main menu of the SAS BIOS CU appears. On some systems, however, the following message appears next: LSI Logic Configuration Utility will load following initialization! In this case, the SAS BIOS CU will load after the system has completed its power-on self test. Follow the steps below to configure an Integrated Striping (IS) volume with the SAS BIOS CU. The procedure assumes that the required controller(s) and disks are already installed in the computer system. You can configure an IM/IME volume and an IS volume on the same SAS controller. 1. On the Adapter List screen of the SAS BIOS CU, use the arrow keys to select a SAS adapter. 2. Press Enter to go to the Adapter Properties screen, shown in Figure 5.1. 5-2 Creating Integrated Striping Volumes Version 1.1 Copyright © 2006, 2007 by LSI Logic Corporation. All rights reserved.
