How would we install OS Managed RAID 5 on an R410.
Could you kindly send over step by step process? Would the below work? (step two shows Perc 6i controller so I didn't know the difference for OS Managed.
Thank you!
1
Start or restart the Dell PowerEdge server.
2
Press Ctrl+R to access the Perc 6/I Integrated BIOS Configuration Utility.
The configuration utility opens and shows the VD Mgmt tab.
3
To create a new virtual disk, press F2 and select Create New VD.
4
Select an appropriate RAID configuration from the RAID Level drop-down menu.
VMware recommends that you use RAID 5, 6, or 10.
5
Under Physical Disks, select the hard disks that you want to include in the virtual disk.
6
Select OK and press Enter.
The virtual disk is created.
7
Expand the Disk Group option, and under Virtual Disks, select the newly created virtual disk and press F2 to open the Operations menu.
8
From the Operations menu, select Initialization > Start Init. to initialize the new virtual disk.

Yes, it has an S100 controller, but I would recommend against using it. Use OS-managed RAID instead.
