adding disk to PE2950 with Perc 5/i

[Campbell McLeay]

Hi,

We have a poweredge 2950, with a perc 5/i that is configured with an 
existing RAID 5 array with 5 physical disks in it (so there is one spare 
slot on the disk bays). We want to put another disk in the spare slot 
and configure it in 'JBOD' mode, i.e., just as a plain disk, not part of 
any existing array. We have tried (in a test environment) , but the Perc 
firmware only allows the disk to be added as a hot spare to an existing 
array. Does anyone know if it is possible to add a disk in this way?

Regards,

Campbell
