Page 263 Note – The RAID firmware needs at least 64 MB of unused disk space at the end of each drive to store metadata. F.4.1 RAID Implementation and Support The LSISAS1064 controller supports the Integrated RAID hardware solution, which is a highly integrated, low-cost RAID solution. It is designed for systems requiring redundancy and high availability, but not requiring a full-featured RAID implementation.

Page 269 Note – If the server is rebooted before the volume synchronization is completed, the resync resumes when the server boots. F.4.8 Activating an Array An array can become inactive if, for example, it is removed from one controller or computer and moved to another one. The Activate Array option enables you to reactivate an inactive array that has been added to a system.
