I checked and OMIWV can only monitor. You can use Openmanage Server Administrator to create new arrays remotely. Though Installing it requires a reboot. [URL]   Page 37 [URL] Alternatively, you can try using the megacli for LSI controllers to create the new Raid array without rebooting. [URL]
Hi, i want to know if this is possible to manage (change) configuration of Dell RAID controller on running VMware host.  For example if I add some disks to the DAS storage shelves connected to H800 controller, I need to configure RAID on these new disks and add new datastore in vCenter without rebooting the machine. Is it possible?  My config: Dell PowerEdge R710 server with iDRAC 6 EnterpriseDell PERC H700 internal storage controllerDell PERC H800 external storage controller with two DAS disk shelvesVMware 5.5 booting from SDcardvCenter 5.5 with Dell OpenManage Integration Plugin 2 Through Open Manage Integratilon tab in vCenter i see both controllers and all disks but cannot perform any operation.
