The topic "Hardware RAID function" in section "1.1 Product Overview" will add the following:

Two hard disks which are connected to the IOU onboard device card (IOUA) can be constructed as a single logical volume. The mirrored configuration of the constructed logical volume can secure the data redundancy, as well as achieve the improvement in system fault tolerance.

NOTE - Hardware RAID is supported only on the M8000/M9000 servers on which a RAID-capable onboard device card (IOUA) is mounted. The RAID-capable IOUA requires a minimum XSCF firmware with applicable Oracle Solaris OS patches. See the latest Product Notes for this information.

NOTE - When the onboard device card is RAID-capable, the showhardconf(8) command displays Type 2 in the output.
