RAID Configurations Not Showing in Windows Server 2019

Good afternoon,

I have a recently imaged Dell Poweredge R550 Server running Windows Server 2019.  I used Dell Lifecycle Controller to configure 2 Drives as a Raid 1 for the OS, and the other 6 are running in a RAID 5 configuration.

When I go under Disk Management, the RAID 5 disks are viewed as one drive.  How do I go about getting Windows to view them as a RAID configuration?  I'm concerned that if we have a drive failure at some point we won't be able to properly troubleshoot.

Hello WPrepodnik,

 

That is correct. The RAID5 is a Virtual Disk presented to the OS as one drive.

 

You can install OpenManage Server Administrator in the OS to view the individual hard drives.
