Hello mrshahin, Yes that is correct.  When you create the new disk groups it only will let you do so with disk that are not assigned to another disk group.  So since 7,8,&9 are showing as unused then you can use them to make a  new disk group.   Please let us know if you have any other questions
Hi, We did change a faulty drive (has no data on it) in slot 9 of our MD3000i with a new drive, no when I go to the MD manager the Array says optimal. When I go to the Hardware Component- Physical Disks I can see all the drives says Assigned, but the Drive 9 says unAssigned. we have 2 more new drives in the Device and I want to create a new disk group and new virtual disk from these 2 drives plus drive 9 so when I go to the option create a new disk group there I can see the unassigned disk 9 and the other 2 disks.   quesiton: Why drive 9 says unassigned? can I go ahead and create my disk group with drive 9 and the other 2 drives? Thanks
added new drive unassigned
