I ran into some snag when I tried to add together a novel HDD to my ESXi server. It was picking it upwards via vCenter together with I constitute that because I am using HP server hpssacli command was the exclusively (best way?) agency to add together this novel disk every bit RAID 0 (I had exactly 1 disk every bit my other 1 failed). As usual, since it took me to search unopen to Google, I but decided to document it for hereafter references, later all it’s exactly easier to read your ain instructions than individual elses. Enjoy

So actual sequence was:
Set rebuild priority to high:
# /opt/hp/hpssacli/bin/hpssacli ctrl slot=0 alter rebuildpriority=high
Assigning of unassigned disks to logical drive:
(this activeness invoked synchronization of RAID amongst default raid type (of RAID0) - at that spot was exclusively 1 disk before, correct - it took nearly 1hr (146GB disks))
# /opt/hp/hpssacli/bin/hpssacli ctrl slot=0 ld iii add together drives=allunassigned
After synchronization finished, I migrate the RAID0 to RAID1:
(this activeness took nearly 5hrs)
# /opt/hp/hpssacli/bin/hpssacli ctrl slot=0 ld iii alter raid=1
