Tikanderoga Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I finally got my stuff today, so I dismantled my server, installed ESXi 6.0 on a USB stick, boots fine, I can connect to it, no fuss. I also installed an SSD on one of the SATA port - ESXI recognised it right away and let me create a datastore. Now I installed the RR2720, connected the disks to the cables, when it boots, the RR recognises all the connected hard disks, the 4 x 3TB WD REDs are bound to a RAID5, the SSD is now on a single cable on Port 2. But in ESXi, I cannot access the raid nor the single SSD. When I go to Configuration - Storage - Add storage, the "select disk/LUN" is empty. Any ideas?

Tikanderoga Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 I found the "Solution" to my issue: the 2720 is not compatible/supported by ESXi 6.0, and nothing short of a wished miracle will get that raid card working with an VMWare product past 4.1.

jmwills Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Agreed. It is not on the supported Hardware Compatibility List. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
