Creating a Second IM or IME Volume
Intel
®
IT/IR RAID Controllers allow you to configure two IM or IME volumes per
controller. If one volume is already configured, and if there are available disk drives, there
are two ways to add a second volume.
Option 1:
1. In the configuration utility, select an adapter from the Adapter List.
2. Select the RAID Properties option to display the current volume.
3. Press <C> to create a new volume.
4. Continue with either step 4 in “Creating an IM Volume“ on page 51 or step 4 in
“Creating an IME Volume“ on page 52 to create a second volume.
Option 2:
1. On the Adapter List screen, use the arrow keys to select an Intel
®
IT/IR RAID
Controller.
2. Press <Enter> to go to the Adapter Properties screen, shown in Figure 10.
3. On the Adapter Properties screen, use the arrow keys to select RAID Properties
and press <Enter>.
4. Continue with either step 4 in “Creating an IM Volume“ on page 51 or step 4 in
“Creating an IME Volume“ on page 52to create a second volume.
Managing Hot Spares
You can create one or two global hot-spare disks to protect the IM or IME volumes on an
Intel
®
IT/IR RAID controller. Usually, you create global hot spares at the same time you
create the IM/IME volume.
To add global hot-spare disks after an IM/IME volume has been created, follow these
steps:
1. On the View Array screen, select Manage Array.
2. In the Manage Array screen select Manage Hot Spares, as shown in Figure 12.
