Dear all,
Hope someone can help. I have a DL380 G7 with P410i smart array controller. Initially we had 3 160GB disk installed. The first two are configured for Array A (RAID 1) and contain the operating system (Redhat Linux). The third is used as a data disk and so is configured as Array B (Raid 0). This data disk is now full. The customer has purchased a new 1TB disk and installed this in Slot 4. I wish to make this disk available as an additional data disk.
I've downloaded and installed the latest ACU (cpqacuex-9.40-12.0). When I run this I can see the new disk marked as unassigned. However if I go to the controller configuration option I was expecting see a Create Array option but I only get the options for Controller Settings, Physical Drive write Cache settings and More information. I assumed I could create a new Array C and add the new disk to it so that it shows as a new physical disk.
Amy thoughts on how I might add this new disk. Will running ACU from the SmartStart CD at boot time give me the Create array option.
Any help gratefully received. Thanks in anticipation.
