Add HDD to H730 mini(embedded)

We have a Dell R730 that is running ESX Host with below configuration
2-HDD Raid-1 for ISDM
4-HDD Raid-5 for Virtual Machines datastore
We want to add two more HDDs in the bays and configure those disks to Raid 1 virtual disk. Then I can move the OS to HDD from ISDM, which is not supported for ESXI7.
Can I create the virtual disk without losing the current configuration? If so, which option will take me to config F2 or Ctr+R?
I have upgraded the firmware and LCC to the latest. I will appreciate it if anyone walk me, though.

Mutthu,

 

You should be able to create the Virtual Disk without anything changing in the original VD's, but to access the controller you would need to reboot to CTRL-R, as with ESXi you can't use OpenManage to perform the procedure.

 

Let me know how it goes.
