OVM 3.1.1
Dell R510 12 SAS Drives in Raid 5
I'm trying to set up an r510 for a test env, and after reading through the forums, I found that it says SAS drives can't be used.
6.4.3. Local SAS Hard Disks Not Supported for Storage
But that seems crazy. They are in Raid 5. I'm not trying to access them individually. They show up as a Physical Disk, but they don't show up when I create repository.
I've went through this note:
2369991
and cleaned up everything. Deleted the 1 partition, ensured multipathing worked, and the storage disk array appears.
Doesn't make since that a RAID 5 volume whether SAS or IDE would viewed differently. The "drive" is presented through the controller. It could be my controller. I've heard others said it works. Some say it works with 3.0.3.
