The integrated RAID controller is displayed in the ServeRAID Manager Enterprise
view as two controller objects. However, you can configure only one array and
RAID level-1 logical drive on an integrated RAID controller. The controller
information in the tree lists the controller type as LSI 1030.
Attention: If you choose to install a ServeRAID controller in the server, you
cannot migrate the data from an array configured on the integrated RAID
controller to an array configured on the ServeRAID controller.
For additional information about the integrated RAID controller, see the
installation instructions and CDs provided with your IBM xSeries server.

The ServeRAID Manager configures the controller name, partner controller name,
and SCSI initiator IDs in bootable-CD mode only; otherwise, you can view only
this information .
You can configure merge-group numbers for a logical drive that you have created
during the current session of the ServeRAID Manager. If you have exited from the
ServeRAID Manager since you created the logical drive, you cannot configure
merge-group numbers for it. You must use the ServeRAID Manager in startable-CD
mode to change merge-group numbers for logical drives that are not new.
