Hi
The commands are right. You may proceed with the same.
Creating an Array would not take more time. It would happen in few minutes. However changing an array drive type is a time-consuming process. The controller performs all data transformations while servicing IO requests to other logical drives.
Also these Serever models come with the S100i Smart Array Controller with embedded software RAID support . HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10 SW RAID is only supported on Windows.
(adding additinal info : For Linux users, HPE offers a solution that uses in-distro open-source software to create a two-disk RAID 1 boot volume. Customers using Linux and VMware can use the embedded SATA ports in AHCI mode. In AHCI mode S100i Software RAID is not enabled)
