superserver raid 5- esxi doesn't show raid volume

Hello,

Please can you explain me why?

I have a supermicro server - x8dtt

I have setup 3 x500 gb sata as raid 5 on bios.

But after install Esxi 6.0, this raid volume doesn't show in storage volume of esxi.

There are again 3 hdd, but no raid 5 volume?!!

Kind Regards,

If it is this Supermicro X8DTT

It looks like it has Intel controller. Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) is software RAID.

ESXi does not support software RAID.
