Adding a physical disk to Centos 6.7
I have an HP DL380 server with 6 72.8GB drives. I mirrored 2 drives for the system. I just added the other 4 at RAID 0 for a 288GB data drive. These drives were created with the on-board hardware array. The system came up just fine on the mirrored system drive. How do I find/format/add the 288GB drive that I left for data? I can't figure it out. I've been working on Solaris for quite a few years and just can't figure this one out. It must be something easy. I did a MINIMAL install on this server so maybe I need to add an application or something.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

do you see the drive when you do fdisk -l ?
the first drive (raid 1) might appear as /dev/sda and you should see the second one as /dev/sdb
if you see it there, you need to create a partition
fdisk /dev/sdb
n (for new)
p (for primary)
1 (partition 1)
press enter twice to accept the defaults for starting and ending cylinders (to use the entire disk for 1 partition)
w (write; save changes)
then you need to format. if you plan to use ext4, then do this
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
