You CAN use your existing HASS drives in a RAID environment, but ....
You must do it with software (HP high-availability software, part no. don't
know offhand) AND you can only mirror volume sets other than
MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET.
Nike, in my opinion, is a far superior mirroring solution - requiring no
additional software, and enabling you to enable mirroring on all volume
sets. In fact, with hardware mirroring, you don't really need additional
volume sets any longer.
