HP has their own command line tools which have a lot more features and options than the BIOS does. I recently used them to turn two single disks into a RAID 1 on a live system with no data loss or downtime.
They also have a lot of querying tools for examining the raid set etc.
If you haven't already tried them I can find out some more information.
