3.2.2 Creating an IM E Volume

Follow these steps to create an IME volume with the SAS BIOS CU:

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 3.1.

3. On the Adapter Properties screen, use the arrow keys to select RAID Proper-

ties

on the screen and press Enter.

4. When you are prompted to select a volume type, select Create IME Volume.

The Create New Array screen shows a list of disks that can be added to a

volume.

5. Move the cursor to the “RAID Disk” column and select a disk. To add the disk to

the volume, change the “No” to “Yes” by pressing the + key, . key, or space

bar.

6. Repeat this step to select a total of three to eight disks for the volume (or three

to seven disks if you will create a global hot spare). All existing data on all the

disks you select will be overwritten. As you add disks, the Array Size field

changes to reflect the size of the new volume.

7. (optional) Add a global hot spare to the volume by moving the cursor to the hot

spare column and pressing the + key, . key, or space bar.

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.
