5.3 Creating a Second IS Volume

The LSI Logic SAS controllers allow you to configure two IS volumes, or an IS volume
and an IM or IME volume. If one volume is already configured, and if there are
available disk drives, there are two ways to add a second volume.

The first is as follows:

1. In the configuration utility, select an adapter from the Adapter List. Select the

RAID Properties option. This will display the current volume.

2. Press

C to create a new volume.

3. 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:

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 5.1.
