Installing on Dell PowerEdge with Perc S110 RAID controller #12420

I am fairly new to SO and have some experience with Linux. I'm trying to install SO on a repurposed Dell PowerEdge T320 that uses a Dell PERC S110 Raid controller. I have (4) 500 GB drives configured in a RAID 10 array. When I get to the first part of the install using the SO ISO, it asks for the locations to install the OS and /NSM storage, but it only lists and I can only select the (4) 500GB drives individually, not as the RAID 10 array. Multiple drives detected. Let's answer some questions. How can I get SO to recognize the RAID10 array to install on? Thanks! Guidelines

According to the PERC S110 User Guide, it is a software RAID controller (aka FakeRAID) only supported under Windows. Your best bet is probably to make all disks non-RAID on the PERC, and create a MD mirror of the first two disks on install then afterwards create a mirror of the second pair, make it a PV, add it to the existing VG, and grow your nsm LV and filesystem to use it. You will need to be comfortable with the OS installer's disk configuration helper and LVM2 tools to do that. Alternatively, if this is only a POC, you could throw redundancy out of the window and give yourself nearly 2T for /nsm.. at least until a disk fails. That's a simpler matter of installing to one disk, then adding the three remaining as PVs to grow the /nsm LV and fs. |

Thank you so much for the quick answer! I should've realized it was SW RAID. |
