3-4 Creating IM and IME Volumes

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 data migration. The first
disk will be mirrored onto the second disk, so any data you want to
keep must be on the first disk selected for the volume. Data on the
second disk is overwritten. The first disk must have 512-KB available
for metadata after the last partition.
As disks are added the Array Size field changes to reflect the size of
the new volume.
7. [Optional] Add one or two global hot spares by moving the cursor to
the hot spare column and pressing the + key,
−
key, or space bar.
Figure 3.2 shows an IM volume configured with one global hot spare
disk.

8. When the volume has been fully configured, press C and then select
Save changes then exit this menu to commit the changes.
The SAS BIOS CU pauses while the array is being created.
