1. Skip this step. 2. Install new drives in the front of server [hot]. 3. No need to "boot" into OS. 4. Use Dell software [OMSA] to configure new RAID 1.
Currently I have a Dell T300 with a RAID 1. The current drives are almost full so I have 2 more drives that I am going to setup in another RAID 1 on the server. Wondering what steps are required to do this successfully.  Right now I plan on the following: 1. Shutdown server 2. Install new drives in the front of server. 3. Boot server into OS (Server 2008) 4. Use Dell software to configure the new RAID 1. Is this going to be successful?
