Just run fdisk -l command, if you see only one disk of the same capacity, then almost sure you are using a hardware RAID.

To be sure, download an utility from the IBM page to configure the array controller.

Hi,

Check the output of "dmesg".

That will hopefully give some clue as to what the underlying hardware configuration is.

Cheers,
