raid - Having more than 2 logical drives in a HP ML350 G6



I've begun setup of a HP ML350 G6 and I've hit a wall. I've got 2 RAID drives (each having 2 HDDs in a mirror). I've now come to put a couple of extra disks into the server and it won't let me create the logical disks for the 2 new drives. I don't want to RAID them, just have them appear as normal disks.



When I try to add them from the RAID utility (F8 during boot) I get a message saying ORCA can't handle any more logical drives, and that I should use the array config utility to add them. I tried using the array config to add them but can't see how to do it. The disks are both picked up and labeled "un-allocated" but I can't find any way to allocate them.


Answer



You need to purchase a memory module for the RAID controller, as contrllers with no memory only allow to create 2 arrays :-)
