I am new to esxi so please excuse my noob questions. I have a server I am using at my home to further my education into system administration. It is a dell R210 ii. It has a LSI logic 9260-4i raid card in it. I have 2 1TB drives that I put into raid 1. when I boot the server up it says 1tb virtual drive right under the 2 physical drives. When boot from USB to install EXSI ver 7.0.1 it only see's the USB that i am booting from. I am guessing that this is a driver issue?? Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated!
Well it should work in terms of having a driver for that controller, and hopefully the rest of your hardware. But it depends on your use case for ESXi, and should be at least 6.5 to be on a version which is still supported and updated.
that is most likely a driver issue indeed, just use the last known certified version and test that, although 7.0 is the latest and greatest, still plenty to learn when you are new with 6.x
