5. In the RAID Properties screen, use the arrow keys to select the first disk for the IS volume. Then use the arrow keys to move to the Array Disk column for this disk, and press the SPACE, +, or key to select Yes as the value for this column. If partitions are defined on the selected disk, a message appears warning you that data on the disk will be lost when the striped volume is created. Press the M key to migrate, or the D key to delete the data on the drive. 6. Repeat the previous step to select up to three more disks for the striped volume. 7. Press the C key to create the array once all drives have been chosen, then press Esc and SAVE. SAS RAID 1 (IM) configuration Follow the steps below to configure an Integrated Mirroring (IM) volume with the BIOS-based configuration utility. The configuration procedure assumes that the system already has the required disk and disk controllers. 1. On the Main menu screen of the BIOS-based configuration utility, use the arrow keys to select an adapter. 2. Press Enter to go to the Adapter Properties screen. 3. On the Adapter Properties screen use the arrow keys to select RAID Properties on the screen. 4. Press Enter to go to the RAID Properties screen. 5. To configure a two-disk mirrored volume with an optional hot spare disk: ● In the RAID Properties screen, use the arrow keys to select the primary disk for the IM volume (the disk with the data you want to mirror.) ● Use the arrow keys to move to the Array Disk column for this disk and use the SPACE key to select Yes as the value. If partitions are defined on the selected disk, a message appears warning you that data on the disk will be lost when the striped volume is created. Press the M key to migrate, or the D key to delete the data on the drive. ● When the Keep Data/Erase Disk message appears, press F3 to keep the data that is currently on this disk. The value in the Array Disk column changes to Primary. ● Use the arrow keys to select the secondary (mirrored) disk for the IM volume. Select Yes as the value for the Array Disk column. If partitions are defined on this disk, a message warns you that data on the disk will be lost when the mirrored volume is created. Press Delete to confirm erasing data from the disk, or press any other key to deselect the disk. Continue with Step 7. 6. (Optional) To configure a mirrored array with hot spares, use the arrow keys to select a hot spare disk for the IM volume. Select Yes as the value for the Hot Spare column. 7. When you have selected all disks for the IM volume, press Esc and select Save changes, then exit this menu. (If you do not want to create the IM volume, select Discard changes, then exit this menu. The IM volume exists as soon as you save the changes. The RAID Properties screen now displays the IM volume properties and status. 136 Appendix A Appendix A - SAS devices ENWW

SAS RAID 1 (IM) configuration
Follow the steps below to configure an Integrated Mirroring (IM) volume with the BIOS-based
configuration utility. The configuration procedure assumes that the system already has the required disk
and disk controllers.
1.
On the Main menu screen of the BIOS-based configuration utility, use the arrow keys to select an
adapter.
2.
Press
Enter
to go to the Adapter Properties screen.
3.
On the Adapter Properties screen use the arrow keys to select
RAID Properties
on the screen.
4.
Press
Enter
to go to the RAID Properties screen.
5.
To configure a two-disk mirrored volume with an optional hot spare disk:
●
In the RAID Properties screen, use the arrow keys to select the primary disk for the IM volume
(the disk with the data you want to mirror.)
●
Use the arrow keys to move to the Array Disk column for this disk and use the
SPACE
key to
select
Yes
as the value. If partitions are defined on the selected disk, a message appears
warning you that data on the disk will be lost when the striped volume is created. Press the
M
key to migrate, or the
D
key to delete the data on the drive.
●
When the
Keep Data/Erase Disk
message appears, press
F3
to keep the data that is currently
on this disk. The value in the Array Disk column changes to
Primary
.
●
Use the arrow keys to select the secondary (mirrored) disk for the IM volume. Select
Yes
as
the value for the Array Disk column.
If partitions are defined on this disk, a message warns you that data on the disk will be lost
when the mirrored volume is created. Press
Delete
to confirm erasing data from the disk, or
press any other key to deselect the disk. Continue with Step 7.
6.
(Optional) To configure a mirrored array with hot spares, use the arrow keys to select a hot spare
disk for the IM volume. Select
Yes
as the value for the Hot Spare column.
7.
When you have selected all disks for the IM volume, press
Esc
and select
Save changes, then
exit this menu
. (If you do not want to create the IM volume, select
Discard changes, then exit
this menu
.
The IM volume exists as soon as you save the changes. The RAID Properties screen now displays
the IM volume properties and status.
