Dear, friends, I couple day ago I installed a fresh SME 7.4 installation on a IBM X3200, this server conatain a internal array controller so I configure it as array 1 by hardware.

The problem is that I forged to install SME server without the array option, this mean I alway in this type of server I install SME with the option sme no raid.

My question is, Exist a possibility to disable this option after the SME  server was installed.

Thanks for your advice.

no, AFAIK you can't.. you'd backup, reinstall, restore

no, AFAIK you can't..

You also don't need to. Software RAID (with a single 'device') works fine over hardware RAID.

Yes, Charlie agree with you, but was my mistake to install SME server with array support, normally when I do SME installation on Servers that support arrray (IBM, HP, DELL) by hardware I just created only one logical array via hardware and install the SME server without the array support option.

Thanks for your advice.

indeed Charlie, but it adds a layer that, IMVHO, is useless.. isn't it?

Useless but harmless.
