Short question: Can I create a RAID 1 array within Windows Server 2003 on a Dell Poweredge 2900?
I was thinking OpenManage, but I'm unsure if it can be done with this. I know I could using the PERC BIOS.
 
Windows has had built in RAID support for as long as I can remember. If you already have a separate controller card however, you are better off using it instead.
 
Perhaps I should have been more specific. I was aiming toward using hardware RAID 1 using the PERC controller instead of software-based RAID 1.

Does anyone know if OpenManage will allow you to setup RAID 1 using the PERC controller?

Open manage should
If not you can do it in the Cards BIOS when you boot, or download the LSI megaraid storage manager.
