I actually have things working this morning... first time in 3 days and about 8 builds of the array since I have got it to work. To elaborate I set a RAID 5 + spare to build over night. This morning the system was hung up... reboot... 2 of the drives were missing from the array, re-added them let it rebuild and magically it work for some reason this time. Still not convinced that it will stay like this but it is at least testable now.
For the second part I think I found an entry in the ESX server that was causing the problem, this is working now.
Torpedo Ray: Yes I was able to create volumes and targets before, the array just never got out of degraded mode
MS initiator??? assuming you mean Microsoft? I try never to touch the stuff.
