Before the disk are visible to the server, you have to assign the disk to raid then create your virtual disk and initialise it. This can be done in the raid bios during post - press CTRL-M and you need to select the correct raid card to attach to you can then use the menus to create your setup or you can install server administrator the use the storage management tab and create your raid from there.
It seems that the missing drivers were for an unreleated Adaptec SCSI card that is also installed on the system.
What i have found from the Server Administrator application is that under 'Storage' only the Perc 4e/di card shows and not the Perc 4/DC. Even though this card shows in the device manager.
I am stumped as to why this isn't working, can anyone offer any help??

Hi,
The disks have been assigned and the raid volume initialized. The 'logical disk' is detected during boot up.
I will install server administrator and see if that gives any additional insight.

A little progress but not much.
