   I played a little with that stuff a couple of years ago,
before I decided to save 50W and went back to an rx2600. 
That being a couple of years ago, I've forgotten everything,
but my notes say things like:

   See rx2660-Maint.pdf, page 233, "CFGGEN Utility".

      (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01232490)
      IM  = Integrated Mirroring (RAID-1)
      IME = Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (RAID-10)
      IS  = Integrated Striping (RAID-0)

[Everything here was "IM".]

      Bad Info:

   The cfggen utility is located on the HP IPF Offline
Diagnostic and Utilities CD.

   4. Change to the directory that contains cfggen.efi.
      fs0:> cd EFI\HP\TOOLS\NETWORK
      fs0: EFI\HP\TOOLS\NETWORK>
   5. From this directory, use cfggen.

      Good (Actual) Info:

fs5:\EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SAS> cfggen

fs5:\EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SAS> cfggen 0 display

[...]

   My dim recollection is that I found a Sun manual somewhere
on this new Inter-Web thing which provided useful info on
dealing with the SAS1068.  I might be able to find it again,
if I were desperate.

   I got as far as "cfggen 0 create IM MAX 1 2" (and use of
the resulting "Disk ITS$DKA1:, device type LSILOGIC Logical
Volume").  I didn't run the system long enough to get a disk
failure, so I never needed to deal with a replacement.
