We have a HP StorageWorks MSA60 SAS attached enclosure, with 12x1Tb SATA disks, connected to a P800 controller.
Until now, they were used with a Linux server under the control of an external company.
We no longer need this Linux server.
We now want to use them into a Windows server, as storage disk (we already have a system disk).
I installed the P800 card, connected the MSA60, configured with the offline utility, installed the drivers. Work fine.
I then installed HP Array Configuration Utility. This allow me to VIEW controller and disks state. I don't find any way to MANAGE (ie change RAID level, etc, as with the offline utility).
I also installed HP Systems Insight Manager (mega-overkill…) but no more manage ability found.
My question is: how can I manage this P800 + MSA60 while Windows is running ?

I have the same hardware. There is just NO possibility to manage disks online. On only have access to status. This is one of the worst situation I ever seen.
