6.8.1
Integrated Mirroring
Overview
The Integrated Mirroring (IM) feature supports simultaneous mirrored volumes with
two disks (IM). Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) supports three to eight disks,
or seven mirrored disks plus a hot spare disk.
The IM feature supports hot swap capability, so when a disk in an IM volume
failes, you can easily restore the volume, and the swapped disk is automatically re-
mirrored.
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 disks in one volume.
•
The RAID BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference only
and may not exactly match the items on your screen.
To create an IM volume:
1.
Turn on the system after installing all SAS hard disk drives.
2.
During POST, press <Ctrl+C> to enter the SAS configuration utility.
