How to access RAID controller in runtime

[java]

In the past I used only software raid like Linux mdadm. Now I have this motherboard : X10DRC-LN4+ which has on board hardware raid : LSI 3108. I can access the management interface of raid during system boot up by pressing ctr+R. This maybe a noob question but how to enter into management interface when the system is already up and running ? Let say I want to create a new RAID based on 2 HDDs which I just added without restarting the entire OS (in my case ESXi 6) ?

Some details :

MSM can not be installed directly on your OS because ESXi lacks any native graphics interface. MSM could be installed on VM and used to connect to ESXi but I personally do not like that solution. It makes it dependent on VM running...

But you could also install command-line utilities directly to ESXi (there are vibs for both new StorCLI and older MegaCLI). Those are all you need for monitoring/managing/flashing raid-controller. Basically anything that can be done in bios can be done with StorCLI too (and much more)...
