Note that the IDs of the first and second member are no longer
presented to the system. Note also that you must give a volume ID that
does not conflict with an ID that remains on the bus after the volume is
created.

At this point the IM set is created and is in the Re-synchronizing state.
Although the volume is usable at this point, it does not operate at
maximum performance or be redundant until it reaches the Optimal state.
You do not need to wait for the disk to reach the Optimal state at this
point. In fact, the disk will reach the optimal state more quickly under the
operating system driver, after Solaris is booted, because the runtime
driver uses the performance features of the Fusion-MPT architecture.
Check the file /var/adm/messages for messages regarding state
changes for the volume set as it progresses from the Re-synchronizing
state to the Optimal state.
5.2 Integrated Striping
Disk striping, also known as RAID 0, pairs two drives together into a
volume set to achieve better performance. Unlike a mirrored volume,
however, a striped volume does not write data to both disks and therefore
does not provide data redundancy if one of the disks fails.
