Operating System

vmware

RAID arrays created with: Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

Summary

Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU/Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise and Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 do not support VMware*.

Description

Cannot install VMware ESXi* on RAID array created with software RAID solutions such as the Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (Intel® ESRT2), Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise (Intel® RSTe), and Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC).

Resolution

VMware ESXi* requires a compatible hardware Intel® RAID Controller for its installation.

RAID volumes created using Intel® ESRT2, Intel® RSTe, or Intel® VROC aren't supported either as boot device or data store.
