adding another disk - sol10x86 on dl365

i have a dl365 with x86 installed. currently my raid is set as follows:
Code:
# /opt/HPQacucli/sbin/hpacucli controller all show config

Smart Array E200i in Slot 0   (sn: PR76MU2357     )

   array A (SAS, Unused Space: 0 MB)

      logicaldrive 1 (68.3 GB, RAID 1+0, OK)

      physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 72 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 72 GB, OK)

   unassigned

      physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 1:bay 3, SAS, 72 GB, OK)

what i'd like to do is have the 3rd, 72gb drive (1i:1:3) as a standard disk. not actually in an array or apart of "array A". at this point, i'm not sure how to get this disk to be seen by sol10. i'm not well trained with this utility either so it could be my lack of knowledge. docs/manuals aren't really showing me much other then actually placing these into an array. i've tried devfsadm and reboot -- -r with out any luck.

i figured it out. my logic was failing me at this point. i assumed that in order to create a logical or physical drive, i needed two or more for a RAID0 set up. however, this is not the case.
Code:
=> crtrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=1I:1:3
=> ctrl slot=0 pd all show

Smart Array E200i in Slot 0

   array A

      physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 72 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 72 GB, OK)

   array B

      physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 1:bay 3, SAS, 72 GB, OK)

i want back to my OS and ran format and saw the drive available
Code:
# format
