I am running baremetal 6.2-U2 on a Dell R620, R820 and the R730. Used the 103a loader with 3617xs. Been working on a few other dell servers to tweak his loader for.
I was even able to get the PERC H710 to pass the virtual disks over. Working on getting my MD3220 SAS array to pass thru as well, using some ported loaders from the RS4017.
All using the Broadcom/Qlogic 57800 chipset, except the R620, that's 10gig Intel.
With the Dell servers, you will need either a SATA backplane or an LSI/Perc that is at least an H710 or newer to work. Others can't pass the disks over/through due to how they handle RAID 0 disks or they just don't allow it.
Excellent! I have an R820 with the H710 PERC. How did you configure the RAID? Each drive as a separate virtual drive and let DSM create the raid?
Can I use a Dell R710 PowerEdge server to run XPEnology?
in DSM 6.x
