Hi,
I recently got a Arago 930-8i in order to have 2 SSD in RAID1 for installing an ESXi7 server. I choose this card because it was on the VMware list and was cheap enough (I just need basic redundancy).
The card is use with a Supermicro X10SDV.
I was confused first as I was not able to get into the RAID card BIOS. I am used to ARECA devices and thought it would be the same... After reading some documentation, I discover that I can configure the card via a couple of tools on Windows. I install 2016srv (I had a spare licence) and the tool suite but the card is not visible via LSI storage Authority. I also noticed that the device is not correctly configured under devices manager (exclamation mark) and recognize as a 530-8i instead of a 930-8i.
Does anyone have any tips that will allow me to get RAID1 working ? I assume the card will natively be recognize under ESXi7, but I did not verify it by installing a dummy version.
Kind regards,
Serge
