option. This will display the current volume
② Press C to create a new volume.
③ Continue with step 4 of the IM or IME creation procedure in the previous section to create a
second volume.

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.

5.2.3.2.4 Managing Hot Spares
You can create one global hot spare disk to protect the one or two IM/IME volumes defined on a SAS controller.
Usually, you create the global hot spare at the same time you create the IM/IME volume.
Follow these steps to add a global hot spare disk later for the existing IM/IME volumes on the controller:
① On the View Array screen, select Manage Array.
② Select Manage Hot Spare on the Manage Array screen, shown in below Figure.
