Integrated Mirroring volume

The Integrated Mirroring (IM) feature supports simultaneous mirrored volumes with

two disks (IM).
The IM feature supports hot swap capability, so when a disk in an IM volume fails, you

can easily restore the volume, and the swapped disk is automatically re-mirrored.

To create an IM volume:

1. Turn on the system after installing all SAS hard disk drives.
2. During POST, press <Ctrl+C> to enter the SAS configuration utility.
