New hdd not detect on HP DL180 G6 - SmartArray B110i SATA RAID Embedded

[malcum fuadi]

Dear all,

My existing environment are;

HP DL180 G6

Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Embedded

1 x 250GB SATA - Configure as RAID 0 - Array A - logical disk1

i want add 1 x 250GB hdd, create new Array B & create new logical disk2,

at power on state server, i plug the new 1 x 250GB.. my new hdd doesn't detect, either by HP ACU/by Windows 2008 svr

1. do i have to power off my server first for having my new hdd detected?

2. did i miss something out or what for having not detected hdd??

after little search, i found about "HP Smart Array B110i SATA Raid Controller Hot Plug Advance Pack"

3. does this license is mandatory for make my new hdd detect & able to configure?

4. is it possible to detect & configure new hdd without buy advance pack license?

many tks in advanced,

regards,

markum fuadi

Are you sure the disk you're trying to add is SATA?, the B110i doesn't support SAS
