    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Are you sure you configured the RAID on the server correctly or consider checking whether or not your RAID card is on the HCL. If you had 3 RAID 1 volumes you should only see three possibilities.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>ESXi installed. Can't determine Raid Volumes</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/ESXi-installed-Can-t-determine-Raid-Volumes/m-p/1365937#M129862</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello, &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have just installed ESXi 6.0. My server has 3 RAID 1 volumes of 2 disks each. When trying to create a datastore, I am unable to tell which disk belongs to which volume. I would like to create 3 datastores, each on its own RAID volume. Here is the picture of what I am seeing. I would imagine 0 and 1 to be a Volume. Likewise 2, 3. Etc... &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Capture.PNG"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64884i01DBFE0A925E4200/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Capture.PNG" alt="Capture.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was hoping someone could tell me which ones are the RAID volumes. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes. This is Intel on board RAID rather than an add-in card. That's exactly what I would expect. But I created and verified the RAID volumes before exiting the Ctrl+I utility.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="20160322_150422_resized.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64885i0FAEA54AA4D0B887/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="20160322_150422_resized.jpg" alt="20160322_150422_resized.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;If this is any help. 4 of 6 disks get the error Call "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions" for object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" failed when trying to create a datastore. But all of these disks were wiped when they were added to the RAID volume.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Kindly Check HCL and make sure the RAID controller is supported.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you can share the make and model of card and server you are using.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Have your tried re configuring RAID? may be for testing purpose use RAID 0 and check.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;If ESXi can not see raid-volumes (and can see individual disks instead) it is software-/bios-/fake-raid you have. This is not supported by ESXi, and you can not use such a "raid-array" for datastore. At least not directly...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;This topic has been discussed here many times (might easily be the most frequently asked question), I do not understand what documentation do you want to see. Take it simply as fact. We have HCL, with list of hardware that does work. You will not find single fake-/bios-/software-raid controller there. And it is for very good reasons. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Fake-raid controllers need OS-support, some kind of "driver", and there is none for ESXi. Moreover, fake-raid controllers are usually very simple, lacking any on-board cache and cpu. Even if you made them work with ESXi, you would get trully terrible performance...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
