    RAID 0 (striping) and RAID 1 (mirroring) volumes using the Solaris OS raidctl utility. To configure and use RAID disk volumes on the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers, you must install the appropriate patches. For the latest information about patches, see the product notes for your system.

    Disk: 0.7.0 In this example, a single volume (c1t0d0) has been enabled. The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 or T5220 server’s on-board SAS controller can configure as many as two RAID volumes. Prior to volume creation, ensure that the member disks are available and that there are not two volumes already created.
