Hardware RAID Support
The servers provide hardware RAID support through on-board SAS2 RAID controllers. Each
controller enables you to create up to two logical disk volumes consisting of two or more
redundant disk drives. The following table identifies the hardware RAID controllers built into
each server.
Server Controller Description Supported RAID Levels
SPARC T5-1B One on-board SAS2 controller 0, 1
Netra SPARC T5-1B One on-board SAS2 controller 0, 1
