I enabled RAID in the BIOS (BIOS: Advanced -> IDE -> Config Sata#1 = RAID)
Windows server install see's the raid, Xen doesn't...
Anyone know where or which drive to use on the support site?
Any clever method of delivery by remote access?


Tip: using IMPI, from the keyboard drop down, turn on left-control for CTRL+I, then turn it off.

Intel ICH Raid (on-board Raid) is not supported by Linux. Xen is Linux...

AFAIK, only Windows has drivers supporting the on-board Raid.

Its not a Dell thing. This is true of all implementations of the Intel integrated IO controller raid all the way back to the days of P-III.

Exactly right. Intel limitation.

I have 3 disks per node. I want to run Xen, should I go soft linux raid? Other than no raid, do I have an other options here?
Software raid is pretty much always a better way to go anyway with linux over onboard raid controllers.
