Starting the SAS BIOS Configuration Utility If you have SAS BIOS version 6.x.x with the Fusion-MPT SAS BIOS Configuration Utility, you can change the default configuration of the SAS host adapters. You may decide to change these default values if there is a conflict between device settings or if you need to optimize system performance.
Hot spare drives are not allowed for RAID 0 volumes. ■ Note – RAID 0 does not provide any data protection in the event of disk failure. It is primarily used to increase speed. Netra CP32x0 SAS Storage Advanced Rear Transition Module HD User’s Guide • January 2009...
Note – Once the number of disks in a RAID volume is set, it cannot be changed. 5. When the volume has been fully configured, press C and select Save Changes, then exit this menu to commit the changes. The Configuration Utility will pause while the array is being created. Creating a RAID 1 Volume A RAID 1 volume, also referred to as Integrated Mirroring (IM), offers the ability to mirror data from one hard disk onto another one.
As disks are added the Array Size field will change to reflect the size of the new volume. There are several limitations when creating a RAID 1E volume: All disks must be SAS (with SMART support). ■ Disks must have 512-byte blocks and must not have removable media. ■...
1. Select Activate Array. 2. Press Y to proceed with the activation, or press N to abandon it. After a pause, the array becomes active. Netra CP32x0 SAS Storage Advanced Rear Transition Module HD User’s Guide • January 2009...
