Yes, we talked to the vendor (i.e. IBM reseller) and have ensured that these drives will work with the existing system.
The raid controller does see these new drives, but they are not the part of the array. There is only one array and IBM ServeRAID software that came with the machine does not have any option on it menu to include thsese new hard drives into a separate array. I guess I have to delete the old array and configure from anew.

Is new harddrive is refurbish? Did you talk to vendor? if
hds are
good run hdparm to see the harddisk info. If you find no
complain
partition it and install RHEL 4 or 5 to see how it behaves.
Old
Redhats are buggy some time.

Dear Members,controller (Ultra 320) with two 36GB hard disk installed
We have an old IBM x225 series server with RAID 1
(as RAID 1 :/dev/sda). We have now acquired two compatible
SCSI hard disks from IBM each with 146GB capacity. I have
just inserted the HDs into the front empty slots and
configured them as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc (no raid, just two
extra disks), each having only one large partition which is
intended to hold some of the user files.
file system with journal. After that I copied the user data
I have partitioned them with fdisk and make an ext3
dir to the new partition with "cp -p" to preserve
time-stamp and ownership and enabled quota. I then replaced
the mounting label in /etc/fstab in the old disk with the
new disk i.e. replacing /dev/sda2 with /dev/sdb1.
(say a day or two) the system complains of the new hard disk
The system works fine after reboot but after some time
(/dev/sdb1) that it contains a filesystem with errors and
get it to a fsck session which spans for about an hour.
After that the system runs smoothly for about a day and
again the same problem occurs.
anamoly in my installation. BTW, the server runs Redhat8.0
I am at my wits end as I can not see any procedural
(which came with it) and as it is just a machine containg
some user files, we have not bothered replacing with a
newer O/S.
