5.4.2 Configuring the SAS/SATA RAID controller
The server has a SAS/SATA RAID controller with "Integrated Mirroring
Enhanced" functionality or "MegaRAID functionality". You can configure the
SAS/SATA RAID controller either before or during installation with the
ServerView Installation Manager. Using the ServerView Installation Manager is
recommended.
I The controller makes a separate utility available for IME configuration.
For further information, refer to the "Integrated RAID for SAS User’s
Guide" (on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry
Standard Servers - Expansion Cards - Storage Adapters - LSI RAID / SCSI
Controllers).
A separate utility is available to the controller for MegaRAID
configuration. For further information, refer to the "SAS Software User’s
Guide" (on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry
Standard Servers - Expansion Cards - Storage Adapters - LSI Configuration
Software).
Further information on modular RAID controllers is provided in the
"Modular RAID Controller Installation Guide" (on the PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers - Expansion Cards
- Storage Adapters - LSI RAID / SCSI Controllers).
I Descriptions of operating systems not covered in the controller manual
are provided in the corresponding readme files on the driver CDs.
