Windows not detecting MD3200
Good day, everyone!
We have DELL 810 Server with Windows 2008 R2 and Dell Power Vault MD3200.
MD3200 connect to server with 2 SAS cabels. I`m create disk with RAID, according to the instructions (result on picture) and it is working (I think). But Windows not detect this disk. Maybe I`m do something wrong? Help, please.

Your picture shows your problem; you cannot use a PERC H800 to connect to an MD SAN. You have to replace that card with a SAS6E card.

Hello ShredGuard,
Dev manger is correct that you have the wrong card for your MD3200. Here is a link to the support matrix for the MD3200. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/Common/powervault-md3060e_Concept%20Guide_en-us.pdf If you look on page 10 it shows you the cards that are supported to work with the MD3200.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

You have the host in a host group. This is used when you need to cluster the server with 1 or more other servers.
If you aren't clustering, try removing the host from the hostgroup and assign the disk again if needed.
Also check device manager under "Disk Drives". You should see 2 universal devices (1 per cable/connection) and then 1 multipath disk device. If you see this, check disk management to see if the disk shows up there.

Hello ShredGuard,
Here is a link to our deployment guide. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powervault/powervault-md3200_Deployment%20Guide_en-us.pdf I would make sure that your setup is correct as if so you should see your virtual disk if assigned to the host.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Good day, Thanks for answers.
We removed a host-group (pic 1) and moved all to a host.
We don't can assign the disk, but we don't see a disk in device manager.
Windows still not detecting a storage.
I`m attached a storage and server back photo.
Thank you!
