Hi -
Building my first Win2k cluster. Following HP's "how to" document and all is well except:

Using the "FAST" utility, I made the "physical drive", named it and it seems fine.
The drives are all initialized and show the right size, data speed etc. This is 5 drives that will be in RAID5 with a hot spare. The "drive" is attached.
When I try to make the logical drive from physical disk, I use the "container creation wizard". In the wizard I see the diskset, but when I select it the 5 drives appear in the "disks" window as having no free space so I can't do anything with them. Is this a bug with FAST or is something odd going on?

I'm fairly familiar with clustering (run Netware and NT clusters heree) and have built the NT version of this, but the Netraid 4M card is new to me.
 
ans: went back, deleted the drives and started over. This time I waited until I knew the drives were 100% initialized before I tried anything else.. works like champ now.
