Dell XPS 435 MT with Raid10 ( Intel ICH10R ) on ESXi4

Hi,

Does anyone know how can I get the ESXi 4.0 to work with Intel ICH10R Raid controller .

I have configured Raid 10 (4 Drives) on my dell box, however the ESXi host does it see it as raid.

It simly list all 4 hard drives. Is there a module I can load under ESXi Host to get this enabled?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Like most of the so-called RAID controllers on laptops/workstations it is pretending. ESXi sees straight through it. You cannot use it (as RAID)
