If you mention "saconfig" I assume you have a smartarray 6xxx, so you should run "saconfig" for all parameters.

This will tell you what you have to do (increasing a logical drive, create a new drive ...)...

Torsten, I need create 4 new logical drives with 8 new hard disk,I have a SmartArray 6404 with 2 ports connected to the MSA30 DB.

Should be easy.
Use "ioscan -fn" to locate the device file.
Run saconfig, e.g.
saconfig /dev/ciss3
to see all available disks.

Now create the logigal drives - the example:

saconfig /dev/ciss3 -R 5 -p 1:0 -p 1:1 -p 1:2 -c 10

will create a RAID 5 on channel 1 disk 0, 1, 2 in size of 10 GB.

run insf on the newly created "disks" and use it ...

Can I create a logial drive with drives attached on different channel?
Ex. RAID 1 300GB - Bay 7 and Bay 10

Not enough input data ... ;-)
run "saconfig /dev/cissx" and post!
