Hello,
I have the following situation: ProLiant ML350 G9 with an RAID10 over 8 SFF disks on the first cage. It used the internal Smart Array P440AR.
Now I have put a Smart Array P840/4GB controller and a 12G SAS Expander into the server, connected the expander to port 1 from P840. The first 8 SFF disk cage with existing RAID10 was connected to the expander. Then we have connected a second 8 SFF disk cage with 8 additional disks to the expander.
Overall I have 16x 300GB SAS in two cages.
My problem is that I can't expand the existing array with 8 additional SFF disk from the second cage. The battery is connected and fully charged. I have tried to expand in windows and from intelligent provisioning too.
What could be the problem?
Regards,
Dennis
