I'm looking for some assistance in creating a new RAID5 and logical drive from 4 new 900Gb SAS drives recently added to a HP DL380 G7 server using the HPACUCLI command
There is already a RAID1 consisting of x2 146Gb drives that contains the ESXi 5.1 install And a RAID5 array consisting of x12 300Gb drives on a HP MAS DAS device
When I run "controller all show config" from HPACUCLI you can see the x2 146Gb RAID1, the x4 new 900Gb SAS and the x12 300GB drives Here is the output.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI>esxcli.exe -u root -p ?????? --server=10.10.x.x hpacucli cmd -q "controller all show config"
FIRMWARE UPGRADE REQUIRED:
A firmware update is recommended for this controller
to prevent rare potential data write errors on a
RAID 1 or RAID 1+0 volume in a scenario of
concurrent background surface analysis and I/O write
operations.
Please refer to Customer Advisory

I need a HPACUCLI command that will create a new RAID5 array and logical disk with the x4 900G SAS drives with out interfering with the 2 existing arrays and hopefully do this with out rebooting the server in into the BIO RAID config utility if I don't have to.
