Please and we'll pull it back in. I just recently install VMware ESXI 6.5 and want to run a RAID. Yes, I know software RAID (FAKE Raid) is not the best, but from what I can tell, it might be able to work. This link shows the card I have and I believe it is usable as a RAID. I have it enable in my BIOS and created a RAID 5 of my drives. Any ideas or do I need to buy a RAID card? I'd rather use this setup than buy a card, but I will if I have to.
Edit: Late in the night and actually forgot to say my issue. I have the drives in a RAID 5 but they show up as individual disks, not a RAID.
What can I do to have the RAID show up. The controller is supported and on the HCL, but the RAID itself is not. The controller only supports software RAID, as you know, and the vmw-AHCI driver does not 'do' software RAID. If you like to screw around, don't care too much about performance, and absolutely need disk redundancy, here's something you can do. • If your machine can boot from USB, Install ESXi to a thumbdrive instead of one of the physical disks. You'll want a 16G or larger thumbdrive for this, because there will be one VM there as well.

• Add the disk it is installed to as a datastore. • Install some kind of NAS appliance like NAS4Free or FreeNAS to the new datastore. Setup the SATA controller for passthrough to the NAS VM. At this point, either the NAS will support the RAID directly itself, or it will allow you to create a software raid via ZFS or something on the raw disks. Spectralive Nxt V4 Rapidshare Premium.
Then, you can create a network share of the RAID volume via NFS. Finally, ESXi itself can mount the volume over NFS as a datastore -- and then you can install other VMs there. It's a bit of a stupid hack and the disk performance sucks, and you'll also burn some CPU and RAM running the NAS VM, but it works, and sometimes that's all that matters. • • • • • • •.
