Dl360 - add drive for mirroring

I have an HP Proliant DL360 G4 with a single Ultra320 36.4Gb disk drive.  I would like to add another Ultra320 disk drive and create a Raid1+0 . This sounds like an easy tasks and looking for some validation. First off can I do this without destroying the data on the original disk? What is the best method to perform this task? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can do it without destroying data.  Get the new drive, set the jumpers to an unused ID, enter the SCSI BIOS and set to RAID, tell it to sync and start 'er up.  If the SCSI card doesn't RAID on it's own, you can still do it from Windows.  Install the drive, boot into Windows, open Computer Management, Disk Manager and configure from there.

If you need additional help, just let us know.
