problems. the 206m hardware RAID controller is a "FAKE" raid controller. So you 
might also want to read up on that.

Im kind a new in RAID. i have IBM xSeries 206m with 4 SATA HDD. im
planning to have RAID 5. i will be using its hardware base raid. my
question is do i have to reinstall my system upon setting up raid 5?
or is it transparent?
    
      
 Setting up RAID or changing RAID levels will wipe out your hard drives. So you 
have to back up your system and data, configure RAID, then restore your system 
and data.  After you've set up hardware RAID, it's transparent to the OS.
