Hi aarho

To configure the physical disk, I assume you meant to configure the virtual disk?

There 2 ways to setup the raid:-
1. from the raid card bios
2. from within your OS, from a management tool called the Open Manage Server Administrator (OMSA)

Assuming you are using PERC6/i raid card, here's the manual, refe to Page 85:-

Here's the manual for OMSA on how to setup raid on Page 203:-

Hope this helps.
