Page 211: Zero-Channel Raid Not Supported
The mirroring is accomplished through the ﬁrmware of an LSI Logic controller that supports the standard Fusion-MPT interface. The runtime mirroring of the boot disk is transparent to the BIOS, drivers and OS. Host-based status software monitors the state of the mirrored disks and reports any error conditions. The system is conﬁgured with a second disk as a mirror of the ﬁrst primary disk.
