I'm new to unraid and after buying a Dell PowerEdge R620 I am choosing to setup and install unraid.  The problem is after booting up into unraid I am not able to select any disks in the disk array as there are none.  I can validate that within the BIOS I can see both 1TB drives that I have installed thus far.  Can anyone make some suggestions on how to fix this?  Google isn't returning anything that is fixing the issue and I don't see how to initialize the drives to get them to show up at all.  

 

Thanks

Have you set some RAID configuration in BIOS? Unraid needs to control each disk separately.

What controller do you have? The only one I'm seeing in the diags is the Intel SATA controller, and one one has nothing connected:

 

Oct 22 12:23:11 Tower kernel: ata6: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
Oct 22 12:23:11 Tower kernel: ata5: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
Oct 22 12:23:11 Tower kernel: ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
Oct 22 12:23:11 Tower kernel: ata4: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
Oct 22 12:23:11 Tower kernel: ata3: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
Oct 22 12:23:11 Tower kernel: ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)

 

I fixed this today.  I come to figure out the H710 does not allow me to turn off RAID but rather I have to embrace it and enable Raid0 on each individual drive for them to show up in unraid.  

 

Thanks for those that chimed in to help

Read this thread for more about why that's possibly a bad idea.
