What brand is the server? Like Rindi above said HP, Dell, IBM.. all makers have utilities you can install that will allow you to view your array config without a reboot.

Once I download it and start it are you sure it won't mess anything up?
Positive.. you "can" make changes but you have to actively make them it won;t just do it on its own.
Chances are the tools are already installed?
Any decent server guy setting up a Proliant you'd think would have installed them.

Thank you, the software was on the Servers and using raid 1 phew!!
For example. If you have 4 x 300 GB drives and your total storage is 900 GB. You can be pretty sure you are RAID 5.
If you have 600 GB you can be pretty sure it's RAID 1.
1.2 TB would mean no RAID 0.
