Integrated Mirroring configuration
The following must be considered when configuring the onboard SCSI RAID solution for
Integrated Mirroring:
■ The BIOS-based CU lets you create one mirrored volume per Fusion-MPT controller.
■ Disks in an IM volume must be non-removable, single-LUN disks that support
512-byte sectors, wide synchronous transfers, Qtag'd I/Os, and a unit serial number.
The disks must support SMART, and they must be minimally compliant with the
SCSI-2 standard.
■ Disks of different size are allowed in mirrored volumes, but the smallest disk
determines the "logical" size of each disk in the volume.
■ The excess space of larger member disks is not used.
