LSI SAS RAID

MS-96E0
An IME volume can be congured with up to eight mirrored disks, or seven mirrored
disks and a global hot spare. Figure 2.3 shows the logical view and physical view of an
Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) volume with three mirrored disks. Each mirrored
stripe is written to a disk and mirrored to an adjacent disk. This type of conguration is
also called RAID 1E.
LSI Logic provides the BIOS-based conguration utility to enable the user to create IM
and IME volumes during initial setup and to recongure them in response to hardware
failures or changes in the environment.
