Hypervisor 5.5 U2 showing all drives in RAID

I am running a Dell T3500 workstation with onboard SATA RAID 1 plus a single OS drive and 2 optical drives.  In the hypervisor storage I can see the OS drive and the 2 CD-ROM Drives.  it is also showing both drives from the RAID instead of the 1 logical drive I would have expected created by the onboard hardware RAID controller.

Is this a problem with non-compliance with the HCL or am I missing something?

Your onboard controller is most likely a Software-RAID controller (aka Fake-RAID), which requires additional drivers for the controller which are not available for ESXi.
