Adding an additional array using Dell Openmanage

Hi
I have a Dell PowerEdge Server T610 with a PERC 6/I Raid controller. It currently has 3 disks configured as RAID 5.

I need to add more space so want to add an additional array using 2 c 600Gb disks as RAID1.

Can I do this using Dell Openmanage or do I have to do it within the controller BIOS.

The new disks have been installed and can be seen within the Open Manager software. But I cant select to create an array.

The reason for wanting to do this using software is that I am not on-site all the time and wanted to run it remotely overnight.

Thanks

Hi,

I found it in the open manage software, well hidden and the disks are all configured as mirrored and data is being copied as we speak.
