P410i Array Controller - ACU 9.40.12.0 - ProLiant DL360 G6

[D.Nguyen]

Hello everyone,

I inherited a DL360 G6. Server installed with Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. The person who installed and managed the server has left the company. 

Server has 2 x 72GB SAS configured as RAID 1+0, 3 x 600GB SAS configured at RAID 5. I'm trying to upgrade the drive to 900GB and discovered that the 600GB drives were seen by server as 3 x 300GB.

I removed one the 600GB SAS and inserted 900GB drive, server only seen as 300GB. I inserted one of the new 900GB SAS drive into one of the available slot, the ACU does not even see it. I upgraded the ACU to version 9.40.12.0 and the P410i Array Controller Firmware to version 6.40 but the problem did not revolve.

ACU only see Information button when clicked on the Array whereas it should have Expand Array, Spare management, and Delete button.

ACU did not show an Unassigned Drive.

What did I missing here? 

Thanks in advance for the help from the expert here.
