Creating Integrated Striping Volumes
Disks must have 512-byte blocks and must not have removable media.
Integrated Striping volumes must have at least two disks and no more than 10 disks.
Integrated Striping volumes do not support hot spare disks.
Follow these steps to configure an Integrated Striping volume with the SAS2 BIOS CU,
after. The steps begin with the Adapter List window that appears when the SAS2 BIOS
CU starts.
1. On the Adapter List window, select an LSI SAS adapter, and press Enter.
The Adapter Properties window appears, as the following figure shows.

column, which indicates that the disk is not already part of the volume you are
creating. To add the disk to the new array, change the No to Yes by pressing the
space bar.
5. Move the cursor to another line and press the space bar to add another disk to
the array.
