I need either to make a live CD with the HP tools installed, or a "temporary OS with the tools... First try will be to create a RAID6 on 3 disks (=1 TB, so no grub problems), install the OS, run HP ACU, extend the RAID to the 12 disks, and create the logical disks... If first try fails, second try would be to use a temporary USB disk to install a temporary OS. I even thought of Installing the P800 in a model 3xx, while leaving the disks in the DL180 (if cable length permits it), and boot with SmartStart on the 3xx... ^_^ As for the logical disks sizes, we would go with something like 5 disks of 1.9TB. So, just classic msdos partitions. One thing is for sure, HP tries really hard to make it complicated... JD
