is available. So adding a global hot spare greatly increases the level of data

protection. (One global hot spare is allowed for the one or two volumes config

ured on a controller.)

3.2.1 Creating an IM Volume

Follow these steps to create an IM volume with the SAS BIOS CU:

1. On the Adapter List screen, use the arrow keys to select an LSI Logic SAS

adapter.

2. Press Enter to go to the Adapter Properties screen, shown in Figure 3.1.

3. On the Adapter Properties screen, use the arrow keys to select RAID Proper-

ties on the screen and press Enter.

4. When you are prompted to select a volume type, select Create IM Volume.

The Create New Array screen shows a list of disks that can be added to a

volume.

5. Move the cursor to the “RAID Disk” column and select a disk. To add the disk to

the volume, change the “No” to “Yes” by pressing the + key, . key, or space

bar. When the first disk is added, the SAS BIOS CU prompts you to either keep

existing data or overwrite existing data.

6. Press M to keep the existing data on the first disk or press D to overwrite it. If

you keep the existing data, this is called a migration. The first disk will be

mirrored onto the second disk, so the data you want to keep must be on the

first disk added to the volume. Any data on the second disk is overwritten. As

disks are added the Array Size field changes to reflect the size of the new

volume.

7. (optional) Add a global hot spare by moving the cursor to the hot spare column

and pressing the + key, . key, or space bar.
