I'd like to know more about those command-line tools! I don't know when I'd need them again (never, I hope), but I'd rather be prepared!

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.

I've got a HP ProLiant server running OpenFiler, and due to errors on my part, the SCSI drives got rearranged. Now the HP 6400 RAID controller complains that an "unsupported drive rearrangement has been attempted", and the logical volume is missing. Is there any way to recover the correct order of drives in the drive bay?
It is a test server, so technically no big deal, but you know how it is with "test" servers... It would be pretty annoying to lose all the data.
I've tried booting the 8.30 SmartStart and using the ADU/ACU utility, but it doesn't seem to show anything useful for this. It shows the controller and all drives being "uninitialized", not just being out of order. The Option ROM utility also doesn't show anything.
Suggestions, aside from "use software RAID next time"?
