Hi,
I have a PowerEdge R710 Rack Server. It has one hard drive and it is not using RAID. I want to use RAID.
I tried to find out whether there is hardware RAID in the unit. Dell log shows the following under Storage
1. SAS_6_iR_Integrated Embedded
2. Connector 0 has "SAS Port RAID Mode" in property page
Does "SAS Port RAID Mode" mean or imply there is hardware RAID?
Going through manuals, datasheet & the forum, I could not find out the following.
1. Does my unit have hardware RAID?
2. If it has, how do I get to the RAID configuration page?
3. Is there a general way to find out whether there is hardware RAID in a given R710?
Any information or help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
John
