Reformatting a PowerVault MD1200
We have a PowerVault MD1200 that we would like to reformat using a different RAID level (if possible). It is connected to a server running Linux Fedora. Are there Linux tools to perform this kind of operations?

A MD1200 is a simple JBOD and not a RAID Array. If you have a H820|H830 in your Server than its a standard PERC with external ports for connecting the MD. So press ctrl-d or p during boot and vipe existing config or deleting the existing VD and create a new one.
If you only have a 6G SAS which is only good for connecting the MD you need to use software raid within your linux OS like mdraid or what ever.

I have this:
List adapters - Executing command..
Adapter# ProductName SAS WWID FW. Rev
-------- ----------- -------- -------
0 PERC H200I 5d4ae520b6ff7000 7.15.08
1 PERC H800 Adapter 500c04f2e0ddb53f 12.10.7-0001
So the RAID is the PERC adapter, that I can configure at book... did I understand correctly?

Yes... the PERC H800 is the one youre looking for. Just reboot the Server and than looking... its ctrl+d or p (cant remember), select the right HBA and than configure it.
