Yes. This can be done live using OMSA (Storage, Virtual Disks, Reconfigure) or offline in the CTRL-R BIOS utility for the PERC.

i tried using the firmware interface (crtl-r) but i don't seem that is possible.Now i tried with omsa.
You have a procedure for execute this operation using firmware interface?

Sounds like your firmware is out of date. I'd recommend updating it as soon as possible (do the iDRAC/LCC first, then BIOS, then PERC drivers, then PERC firmware).
What OS are you using?

I have not updating the firmware of the raid controller.the OS is red hat 6.2 .
I tried to install OmSA but i recieved error on multiple dependencies.
Now i'm adding the disks via dell live image.
It's OK no?
