Hello all,
I've built a new system with an Adaptec 6805E RAID controller with 6 3TB drives. My system also has a SATA (AHCI mode) CD Rom and HD. When I go to install ESXI 5.1 U1, the SATA HD shows up as a Storage Device however my array off the 6805E does not. If I then install 5.1 U1 on the HD, when I use the vSphere client and rescan for drives, the array off the 6805E does not show up.
The 6805E is listed as compatible with 5.1 U1 in the guide here: VMware Compatibility Guide: I/O Device Search
I've tried building the array to the size of 1.5 TB, 3TB, 4TB and 8.7TB.
Does anyone have suggestions? I can look at the various logs on the server if that would be helpful - I don't know what I should be looking at.
Thank you all so much in advance!
