Hey guys,
So I took your advice and bought myself a M5014. I flashed the firmware to the LSI firmware and everything works perfectly.
Right now I have 7 drives in a RAID0 configuration, with an 8th added and not configured. I want to make an 8-drive RAID5 array, using that last drive as the spare. I can't find any options in MegaRAID Storage Manager to convert the virtual disk - is it not possible to do that? Worst case scenario, I can backup all the data on it, delete the configuration and redo it, then move the data back. But that would take a while and I'd prefer not to do that if possible.
Thanks.
