I will reach out to you when I am ready. Thanks for your advice.
You'll probably find it was set up as RAID 0 because they bought a P212/ZM which is limited to RAID 0/1/10. Also 4TB suggests they have LFF disks and that server can only take 4 of them unless you use the DVD/tape drive slots to mount non-hotplug disks in and mess about with cables.
At least they could remove the 300GB one to put another 4TB one in its place and use RAID 10. Presumably that's the disk with the hypervisor on and it does have an internal USB port they could boot VMware from.
