what does "windows raid" and "linux raid" mean in the LifeCycle Controller?
In a M640 blade server with iDRAC9 (for instance) i can create/initialize a raid virtual disk in 2 ways (at least).
During boot via F2 (System Setup), or by pressing F10 (Life Cycle Controller).
The F2 way looks pretty straight forward.
But via F10/LLC it asks me to choose between "Windows RAID" or "Linux RAID".
What is that about? What does the future OS have to do with this?
This M640 contains a H730P Mini Controller.
Also, via LLC i dont seem to be able to choose if/how the RAID should be initialized...
F10 ->
F2 ->
No Events found!

Hi, no please do not downgrade yet. Can you share a screenshot please? Do you have a current VD at moment? If you have a VD, so it may affect the RAID type as greyout.

Hello, from the previous post

*That is correct, but keep in mind that this selection is mostly something geared toward the software controller configurations, not hardware controllers, like you are using. So with your configuration it is only to preload LCC drivers"
