Please forgive my ignorance of this material, having to learn as i go.
we have been using a cluster that consisted of two nx1950 servers that were connected to an MD3000 and an MD1000 storage array running windows storage server.
We have replaced the need with newer machines.
I want to resuse the md1000 to add more storage space to an oracle database server that i have.
what do i need to use/do to reset this md1000 so i an start using with my oracle database.
I was thinking that i could install the controller card (sas perc 5/e) from one of the 1950s into my 2900 server that the databse operates on, and from there configure the array to create new drives/etc.
I am unable to see where or how to configure the array. attempts to do it during hte bios load do not give me any options, nor do i see any under OpenManage.
Thank you for your assisance
