I have a custom built server...<br />
Asus DSBF-D12 SAS, Xeon E5410, 8gig, SBS 2k8 (which is 64 bit only)<br />
This board uses only the LSI SAS1068 controller. To monitor &amp;&nbsp;manage the raid arrays the LSI megaRAID &nbsp;storage manager (MSM )is the only tool available. However under SBS2k8 the MSM does not see any arrays. The MOBO comes with v2.62 and I have tried v2.90 neither work. The the MSM launches fine but just simply does not see the server array.<br />
<br />
HOWEVER...<br />
I decided to try installing Server 2008 standard (same hardware) and everyhing works fine. Sooo.. the issue is with SBS2k8.<br />
<br />
I have disabled the firewall, opened ports &nbsp;etc nothing seems to work. <br />
At this point the box is scheduled to go into production later this week &nbsp;&amp; I do not feel terribly good about not being able to monitor or manage the drives.<br />

megaRAID Storage Manager won't run on SBS 2008

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
