# Integrated RAID controller

The integrated RAID controller (such as an LSI 1030) is a standard feature on some IBM xSeries servers. This controller has limited RAID capabilities. With an integrated RAID controller, you can use the ServeRAID Manager to:

- Configure two physical drives into a logical drive and assign it RAID level-1.
- Configure up to six physical drives into a logical drive and assign it RAID level-1E.
- Configure a ready physical drive as a hot-spare drive.
- Monitor the physical drives for PFA errors.
- Set drive status lights for a failed physical drive or PFA error.

The integrated RAID controller is displayed in the ServeRAID Manager tree as two controller objects. However, you can configure only one array and RAID level-1 or RAID level-1E logical drive on an integrated RAID controller. The controller information in the right pane 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.
