Adding a second RAID set

[Guest John]

Hi

 

Our Dell Perc 4/Di had two disks in a RAID 1 configuration. Now we

have added two more disks and have made another RAID1 out of these

two. In Perc configuration old and new raid sets appear as two logical

drives. However when I reboot the server it says 0 logical disks

found. The only way for me is to take out the two new disks and reboot

and then the original logical disk appears and I can boot into

windows. What am I doing wrong and what is the correct way to add

another pair of disks in a RAID1 while there is another pair already

in RAID1 on Perc 4 /Di?

 

Many Thanks

 

Regards
