asked on ESXi 4.1 Raid 5 showing indivdual drives
Hey all thanks for reading.
Im getting strange errors and stranges going on with my test esxi box.
I got a P5D Deluxe motherboard I just brought, I got 4 drives that are 250 gigs Sata, in the raid controller, Intel Matrix I think its called, the raid seems fine and shows up at around 700gigs, but when im in ESX, add datastore, it just adds the indivitual drives and not as a whole logical drive.
Cant seem to see much online, so hope you all can help or pass some ideas my way
thanks again

Good feedback thanks for replying
Also, the raid cards I did look at,they had only 2 sata ports, is there a way I can connect as many as 5 sata drives into a raid, not unless I get 2 raid cards if they are joinable? Also maybe I can use a PCI-E slot instead? as theyre a few of them on this board.
