Hello bj14789, Since you are using a perc card it is a customized LSI card for dell servers.  Since you are not using a dell server then you will need to use the card manufactures software. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Hello,I managed to get a fully functional Dell PV MD1000 disk array - Service TAG - . I tested it, I created RAID and it's OK. I can add a volume for Windows, it's OK too. I have scanned 15 Seagate 300GB SAS drives, also OK.  The problem is that I would like to have access to the disk array from the Windows desktop.For information such as:- RIAID status- Disk status- power supply status- etc. I tried:1. Administrator server (downloaded from Dell's website, based on service TAG) - cannot see the disk array2. OpenManage Essetials 2.5 - cannot see the disk array3. OpenManage Enterprse - I can't access the contents of the VHD disk, Disk Management returns an error to me, and I cannot force a drive letter assignment. I did not install. (downloaded from Dell's website, based on service TAG) Unfortunately, none of the above options allows you to manage or monitor a disk array from windows to be able to receive an email about changes in the system. Specification: server:System Manufacturer - SupermicroSystem Model - X9DRG-HFSystem Type - x64-based PC Operating system:OS Name - Microsoft Windows Server 2016 StandardVersion - 10.0.14393 Build 14393 I would be very grateful for your help. I care about the efficient connection of this disk array to my system.
