When the volume has been fully congured, press C and then select Save
changes then exit this menu to commit the changes. The conguration utility will
pause while the array is being created.
Note: Integrated Striping does not provide any data protection in the event of disk
failure. It is primarily used to increase speed.
5�3 Creating a Second IS Volume
The LSI Logic SAS controllers allow you to congure two IS volumes, or an IS volume
and an IM or IME volume. If one volume is already congured, and if there are available
disk drives, there are two ways to add a second volume.
The rst is as follows:
In the conguration utility, select an adapter from the Adapter List. Select the
RAID Properties option. This will display the current volume.
Press C to create a new volume.
Continue with step 4 of Section 5.2, “Creating IS Volumes,” to create a second
IS volume.
The other way in which to add a second volume is as follows:
On the Adapter List screen, use the arrow keys to select an LSI Logic SAS
adapter.
Press Enter to go to the Adapter Properties screen, shown in Figure 5.1.
On the Adapter Properties screen, use the arrow keys to select RAID Properties
and press Enter.
