Some third party utilities, extend the capabilities of Disk Management Console by basically replacing it. One utility I know of is Dell's OpenManage Array Manager. When installed, when you try to access The Disk Management Console, OpenManage will load instead. If it is a Dell server, this is probably installed. If this is the case, I would download the newest version from Dell's website and install the application. I think the newest version is 3.5. Go into your Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and see if Dell OpenManage Array Manager is installed. I believe HP's OpenView is another application that does this.
