Hi Razakkn, In ideal scenario, if you have seen only the Windows OS list, it should be only Software RAID enabled at this instance. So just to see if we are in the same page, could you check with the below pointers: In R210ii BIOS (F2) -> SATA settings check the current BIOS mode set.. Is it set DISABLED or RAID or AHCI / ATA 1. If its set RAID then you might not see LINUX os. It is expected behaviour of software RAID as said earlier. (Snap below). [IMAGE] 2. If its set AHCI /ATA - the HDDs will remain independent as volumes and you cant create RAID from SBUU S100 Controller. (Snap Below) [IMAGE] But if you connect an external controller (H200 / SAS6GBPS) in a PCI slot, and connect them the the HDDs directly, you can create RAID on that controller. Taking your current scenario to install a LINUX OS, I would suggest to opt for ATA mode and have a supported external storage controller in PCI slot and connect them to the respective HDDs. Then with SBUU support you can create RAID 0 / 1 based on your necessity and install install LINUX flavours too. Thanks Vivek
Hi there,   I recently purchased DELL PE R210 ii (PowerEdge R210 II Service Tag:{ {Svc Tag removed by moderator}}}), When i first booted with SBUU (Systems Build and Update Utility) i got the option for Esxi server installation.  Before completing the installation due to some reasons it restarted automatically and then installation failed. Now when i'm trying again with the same procedure, I'm not getting the any of the other OS selection in SBUU other than windows. I tried download latest SBUU but still didnt got any luck.   What could be the cause for this ?
