IOMSM (Intel
®
Optane
™
Memory and Storage Management)
The IOMSM is the software front-end for the Intel
®
SATA controller. IOMSM may be
more convenient for some people due to a more detailed UI than the UEFI. It is
recommended to install the RAID drivers after installing the Intel
®
Chipset Drivers –
the main motherboard drivers. This guide walks you through not only building, but also
repairing an array from within Windows. All forms of RAID that can be built in the
UEFI are available in IOMSM.
This guide will illustrate how to create a RAID1 array using the IOMSM. Using the
screen above, we know that three (3) SSDs are currently attached to the controller and
the other Intel
®
SATA ports are empty. If you plan to create another type of array,
please ensure that you have the correct number of drives attached and shown on the
status screen in IOMSM for your intended array before you start.
