I'd like to know more about those command-line tools! I don't know when I'd need them again (never, I hope), but I'd rather be prepared!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 11:02 AM, John Lange <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:john@johnlange.ca">john@johnlange.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">HP has their own command line tools which have a lot more features and<br>
options than the BIOS does. I recently used them to turn two single<br>
disks into a RAID 1 on a live system with no data loss or downtime.<br>
<br>
They also have a lot of querying tools for examining the raid set etc.<br>
<br>
If you haven't already tried them I can find out some more information.<br>
<br>
