Add HD to existing raid array?? Cerc Sata 1.5/6ch

  Sorry you did not tell me you were running XP, I do not think any of the server Openmanage software is going to work under XP. Look for management utilties for the Dell precision workstation series, I think one of them may have used the same controller.

rxtrom,

 

   You have to use an upper level program that can do the job like Dell open manage storage manager, or the CLI.

 

Manual  See the section on the CLI specifically the container reconfiguration command. the Open manage GUI's provide this functionality, but hide the complexity.

I downloaded the management software for windows xp, I followed the directions outlined in the help menu that accompanied the program. The menu command to expand the array was grayed out. The drive  I want to spread the array to was initialized and detected. I right click on the logical drive and the option is grayed out.

 

Is it a driver problem, firmware problem. I searched for the most recent, and believe I am current.
