Ken is right this should totally work from the Perc Bios, but I would be surprised if you couldn't do this from the SA tool as well. Have you looked at the Dell site to make sure you are using the current version of the SA tool? Seems like open manage updates come out every 15 minutes, and that is always the Dell first response to a support call.

The reason I ask is that we've just put in a couple more SAS drives in to our Dell 1900 server and can't find an option to create a new raid1 array anywhere in the Server Management app. The drives show up and look fine, but there isn't a 'create new virtual disk' option anywhere in the Storage node like I remember there being. Does the SAS 5/iR only support one Raid1 or am I being dim (mer) ?
