This error might be because:
– The controller cannot communicate with the
physical disks.
– A cable might be loose or defective.
Re-seat the physical disks in the backplane and
check their cables.

on the selected physical disks
There must be sufficient available free space on the
physical disk(s) used by the virtual disk.
Incorrect number of physical
disks selected for the desired
RAID level
See "Understanding RAID Levels" in the RAID
Technology Guide, located on the Dell Support
