RAID manager for IBM m1015?

Hello,
I have the LSI 9261-8i controller and I can manage it fine with MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM), however after installing the IBM m1015 controller, I can't locate it or manage it from the same software, is there another software to manage it?
I have windows 7 x64.
I already installed the driver and Disk Management shows me the 3 HDDs that I connected to the m1015 controller. (Upon post bios I get the message that 3 HDDs are in JBOD with the controller), I wanna put them in RAID1 for now. What am I doing wrong?

here are some screen shots:


Thanks,

=== EDIT ===
I guess I can let windows do RAID1 for me instead of the RAID manager?, but would it them make the controller useless? because I could've just added the disks to my motherboard?

MSM should work fine with the 1015 card, I've used it with plenty of them. Maybe strip it off and install the latest version off of the IBM site?

Failing that, you should be able to access the controller BIOS. Watch for the LSI BIOS to load during boot up and press Ctrl-H to get in there. Easy to set up the array that way as well.

I already got the latest version,
also at bios when pressing ctrl+H when it asks me too doesn't do anything, I already tried it, it just goes to a black screen then loads to windows ._.

Quick question, if my controller fails and I replace it with another one (same model), would I lose my configuration?/lose data?

Did you flash the controller to IT mode?

I don't have one of these controllers, but flashing them to IT mode (= getting rid of the RAID functionality, as far as I understand) seems pretty popular among the ZFS guys.

Maybe it's in IT mode and the management software feels not too responsible for a controller without RAID capabilities.

Nope, haven't flashed it yet, I'm using it on my personal rig that's why i'm not using ZFS yet, i'm building a server up and I'll install the 2nd controller there (same one) then I'll play around with it, I installed this to my own rig now because my "mini-storage server" got filled up (24TB) and I need a temporary storage to store extra stuff until I finish building up my new server.
