Hello,
A client recently purchased a Dell PowerEdge T110 II for us to install their server OS on.
When I received the server, it had 2 500GB HDD's and RAID1 on the PERC S100 Controller was NOT setup yet. After about an hour of googling for instructions on how to setup RAID1, I eventually I limped through it.
In the Software RIAD setup, the two drives show under Physical Drives and are "Ready"
Under Virtual Disks the RAID 1 500GB is listed that I created. All seems well.
HOWEVER, when I try to install the OS, both drives are showing up during the install as available drives to install the OS on. I have dealt a little with RAID1 before, but in all other cases during the install of the OS, only one of the drives show up.
So why do I see both drives during the OS install? Is the RAID1 array not setup correctly?
Any insight would be helpful
