New Solution needed for VLS6500 with 2x MSA20

[Cybdiver]

I'm looking for a new way to handle an old server

I have a Storeage Works VLS6500 with 2 MSA 20 storage boxes filled with 500GB drives.

The two MSA 20 boxes are configured to be redundant with each other so I only see 8Tb of space.
If I could break the mirror between the two boxes, or at least I would like to then I could potentially have 16Tb of space.

So far I've put Windows 2003 on and can see both MSA20 as #1 and #2 in array manager.

I do not see a way to seperate them and make each one RAID 5.

Anyone with helpful info on this subject would be appreciated.

Thanks all,
