ESXi 7.0 cannot detect Dell R710 and R910 RAID controller card

[stephenyu05]

I could install ESXi 7.0on Dell R710 and R910 for homelab

But ESXi cannot detect the raid card with storage.

I know this RAID card did not support in esxi7.

Can we make driver to support raid card?

No not possible. New 7.0 only supports it "native" driver and not the old vmklinux anymore. Also the Dell 11. Gen was supportet up to 6.0 and not for 6.5(works) and 6.7(not work) because the old Nehalem and Westmare not supportet anymore and ESXi installer refuse to run.

thats weird it used to work both 6.7 (only a warning) and 7.0 (with AllowLegacyCPU=true as a boot option)

now when i try to install it it doesnt recognize the drives so i just should throw away my r710 because its useless to me now
