how to use diskdruid with new disk

[lastgreatone]

I had to replace the primary disk on a ProLiant DL380. I inserted the RH media to configure the partitions on c0d0 and it only detects c0d1. Do I have to do something in the BIOS so it recognizes the new c0d0?

c0dX sounds like a disk attached to a raid controller.

It seems that you need to use the array configuration utility to configure the new disk as JBOD.

Well I tried with HP Smart CD. The array configuration utility will not let me add a new disk. Status Message:
Current array controller has a failed logical drive. Logical drive 1 (RAID 0 in Array A) has failed and cannot be created......

It recognizes the 2nd disk, c0d1.

So how do I initialize the new disk c0t0 using the array configuration utility, without wiping out my 2nd disk?

Do you have an array "b?" From what you have described you have two physical disks but they are not part of a mirrored RAID set correct? If not please list how your RAID card is configured.
