[GTALUG] Poweredger server question

‎Using the service tag, go to support.dell.com and read the manual(s), drivers, firmware etc. Press control C or R at boot up to access the raid config. Don't forget to check / upgrade the firmware.

Greetings

Managed to buy a Dell poweredge 2950II server.

What an odyssey to set up the bios!!!

I have 2 drives I got with the machine - - - they were part of a Raid 5 array.
Now there are only 2 drives (will never by a raid 5 array by definition) and I need some way of formatting them so that I can turn them into a Raid 1 array. (Its all hardware raid on this box.)

Anyone with any idea on how to do that to scsi drives when the controller won't let me change their settings and I have no other pox to put them in. (Connector is a wee bit different than for SATA!)
