I first updated the drive firmware. Then removing the physical drives associated with Volume one, which caused the LSI Configuration utility to allow another volume to be added.  In other words, once I removed the physical disk drives associated with volume one and volume two, The LSI Configuration Utility displayed the menu options for "Select New Volume" "Create New Volume" and "View Volume". These menus now display once you select the "RAID Properties" Menu.  With the disks for the first two volumes inserted, the utility would never show these options. This appears to be tied to the limitation of the H200 Controller. If two volumes are created it will not let a third be create even if it is set to inactive. Once the third has been created, it will show all three and one must remain inactive. Here are the steps I took to finally resolve the short comings of the controller. I believe this will finish up and provide me with the new replacement volume I was looking to create.
I have a Dell R715 server with a Perc H200 Raid Controller. I know its not a very good controller, but it has worked up to now...  What happens when I enter the LSI configuration utility using Ctrl + C. I see the PERC  H200I. If I drill down into the SAS Topology menu I can see volumes and two additional drives. What I am trying to accomplish is create the new RAID 1 volume from these drives. However, the Configuration Utility does not give me the options menu screen under the volume screen to Create a new volume. The strange thing is that these two drives were once an inactive volume on this controller. I was in the process to make the volume active, but couldn't, so I deleted the volume and was going to recreate it.   First, why do I not get the menu to options to "Select New volume Type" or "Create New Volume" like is mentioned in the Perc H200 Manual/documentation.  Perhaps this newer version or the Config Utility (7.11.10) is missing those menu options? If so can I roll back to a version like with the menus I need to create a volume Second, is it possible the controller sees these two drives as "dirty" and will not allow them to be created into a volume? If so how do a rectify that state? Third, in the past I was able to "Active" and "Deactivate" the volumes. This seems to be disabled in the version of the utility. I did this since this card appears to only allow for 2 volumes at a time. If I can’t resolve this issue, I may be forced to use these as individual drives and just create a software RAID in the OS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
