SAS disks on raid 1 configuration. Do the disks have to be made dynamic
disks to run hardware raid 1?

If you are using a RAID controller the disks don't have to be anything,
use the controller to select the drives and make the RAID array - the OS
won't know that it's RAID or anything else, just a drive as far as it's
concerned. Dynamic is a PITA if you have to recover.
