LSI Logic MPT SCSI Setup Utility
The LSI Logic MPT SCSI Setup Utility is an integrated RAID solution that allows
you to create the following RAID set(s) from SCSI hard disk drives supported by
the LSI1030 SCSI controller:
•
RAID 1 (Integrated Mirroring)/ RAID 1E (Integrated Mirroring Enhanced)
•
RAID 0 (Integrated Striping)
2.2.1
Integrated Mirroring (IM) volume/
Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) volume
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 fails,
you can easily restore the volume, and the swapped disk is automatically re-
mirrored.
Creating Integrated Mirroring volumes
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 SCSI hard disk drives.
2. During POST, press <Ctrl+C> to enter the SCSI configuration utility.
