Help!

Hi Andrew,
The simplest and fastest way is from the CLI.
Assuming you have a mac, the CLI can be accessed by opening a terminal then entering 'promiseutil' without the quotes.
The commands are ...
array -a del -d 0
array -a add -p 1~6 -l "raid=6"
After this you will have to use the macOS Disk Utility to put an HFS+ filesystem on the LUN.
Be advised that you should not put an APFS filesystem on storage with spinning disks, it will get very slow as the filesystem gets filled.
