I have a MD1000 attached to a Poweredge 2900 (Windows 2003 Std R2 SP2) via a PERC 6/e. I am trying to create a RAID5 array of 8 physical drives usng the OpenManage Virtual Disk Advanced Wizard. I am able to execue the first two steps, selecting the RAID level and then selecting all 8 drvies. When I get to the third step, where I should be able to enter a the array name, size, etc..., I instead just get a blank screen.
I tried creating other array levels also (6, 10, 60) using the Advanced Wizard and the same thing happens. When I use the Express Wizard, there is no problem, but of course I can't create an 8 drive RAID5 with the express.
Anybody know why this might be happening? The contoller firmware is at 6.3.0-0001. All the drives are SAS 146GB 15K Seagate Cheetah 10.
Thanks in advance.
