additional Array on a ML350 G5 with E200i

[chris_griffin]

have problems to set up an additional array.

I have an ProLiant ML350 G5 with a Smart Array E200i.

Two array (A and B) are present. Both fitted with Raid 1.

two disk 70GB for array A and two disk 300GB for array B.

Now I want to configure two existing disk 450GB to an additional array C, also Raid1.

I could make the configuration in the online- “array config utility” but when I reboot the server

he gets array error message an cant start. Then I have taken out the two disc so that it starts again.

Why cant I make a additional array?

Several disk models may have a problem with the firmware when used with a E200.

What disk model and firmware do you have?

Check if the version is printed on the disk label.
