Adding stande alone disk to proliant DL380 G4


Dear All.
I have a simple question (I am newbie to proliant and HP servers :)) but i didn't found answer in internet.

I have HP Proliant DL380 G4 - OS Linux
There is raid 5 with 5 disks, and one empty slot, I want to add additional stand alone disk that will not be used in raid in empty slot.

I inserted disk into bay, but it doesn't showed up in /dev/ what shoul I do to connect it?

Thank you in advance.

The disk bay is connected to the RAID controller, for this reason all disks are under control of the controller.

You need to create a RAID0 drive on this disk or add the disk to the existing array and create a new logical drive.

Hope this helps!
