Unable to access virtual drive for OS installation
Dear Team,
Kindly assist with below.
i have created two seperate RAID virtual disks under systems set up on my Dell PowerEdge r760xs, however booting from boot device (USB) to install the OS comes to a point where we can not locate the virtual drives created.
Your urgent assistance will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Thomas Shigwedha

Attached is the RAID VD created, however they are not appearing on the option to choose the disk to load the OS.

@thomas shaanika We have also tried changing the boot option between UEFI and BIOS however there is no difference.

The OS needs a driver for the given PERC and inititialization of the VDs needs to be completed. Problems with BOOT Order you will seen first after the OS installation and on a reboot ;)

Joerg
