Sorry, let me give my conditions a bit more: I don't think I can reboot the server - I believe it's currently in use as a development machine by one of the teams, so I can't play around with it. > > That said, I would suspect that the RAID controllers would have to be > identical > I believe it's the same kind of controller, so that's ok. I'm using MSM for the above reasons, and that the cli isn't installed. Playing with this thing, I believe I want to create another drive group, not just add another RAID to an existing one, which just seems as though it could get really ugly. But when I click on the controller, I can then get to "Go To" -> controller, which will let me create a new virtual drive, but drive group is all greyed out still. Further, I don't see anything that would let me investigate what the documentation seems to call a "foreign RAID". Hope that gives y'all a better picture of my environment. mark _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
