Oh OK then, let me do some digging to try and flash it to IR mode. Thanks.

I actually built another server with TrueNas Scale to use as a software raid (My very 1st exposure to TrueNas). The reason I am looking into hardware RAID is because my server board does not support it. And it seems like newer server board are phasing out the built-in RAID feature

I don't need cache or battery feature with the raid card. It's only going to be used for the boot drive. That server board does not have RAID 1,0 or 10. So that is why I am looking into hardware raid so I can present the logical drive during the OS install.

Thank you brother for the help. after resetting the BIOS to factory default, I was able to get the CTRL+C option to access the Avago config utility. But my card is in IT mode. I am not able to create any raid. So if I get the same card in IR mode should be good right?

I know but I am not getting that though, which is weird right? I did play with the BIOS settings. Maybe I messed up something. I will restore to factory default and see if that helps.

Thanks for letting me know. I stumble on a blog talking about RDMA in Hyper-V and how it is not supported. I am guessing because I use that NIC in Hyper-V switch it disable RDMA. So on the weekend, I am building a separate machine to test this. Thanks.

Hi jwc, thanks for the help. That is the same blog post I followed and could not get RDMA to work. Can you explain the part about using SMB 3.0 Direct? Honestly, I don't have to use iSCSI. I can just create shares for most of the stuff that I am doing. This storage server will be for...
