duffbeer Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Just got my first server delivered from eBay. Specs: Dell T620 - Motherboard: OMX4YF H710 RAID Controller 4 x 2TB SAS drives Dual CPU E5-2660 @ 2.2GHz 64 GB DDR3 Multi-bit ECC I deleted the current virtual disk from the RAID Controller and Started the drives in the BIOS I've rebooted but still do not see the unassigned drives. I've even installed the Unassigned Drives plugin. Under Tools > System Devices the only thing under SCSI Devices is the boot USB and the DVD drive Where do I start? My goal is to get a Plex docker spun up and see how load the server is while transcoding. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Do you see the drives in the BIOS (either mb or HBA?) Post your diagnostics (tools - diagnostics) Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I would guess that's because it is a RAID controller, not an HBA card. From what I understant, unRAID does not work well with RAID controlers. I don't know if this particular card can be flashed in IT mode. But I am sure some people here will be able to assist you on that. Quote Link to comment
duffbeer Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Found the answer H710 - CANNOT use disks in non-RAID - ALL disks must be configured in a RAID array in order to be presented to the OS. If you need to use a non-redundant, single, individual drive, then it must be configured as a single-disk RAID 0. Fixed it by doing as instructed Quote Link to comment
