Had a RAID Controller fail on a Poweredge 2850, replaced it with an exact replacement, and now need the steps to configure the card. In the RAID Bios, I have the options to
Configure -
Initialize - in here I see my 2 logical drives that are offline
I'm not getting a choice of anything on that next page, just the 2 columns of drives and that options menu i posted earlier, no NVRAM or Disk View on this page.
Then you have already either cleared or imported the configuration. What does the View/Add page look like (status, ID's, etc.)? If you go to Objects, Logical Drives, what is shown there?
What the View/Add option is doing is giving you the choice which configuration you want to use. If you choose NVRAM, it will show you the controller's configuration (since you replaced it, the controller's configuration is not what you want); if you choose Disk View, it will show you the configuration stored on the disks. When you exit View/Add after having chosen a configuration, it will ask you if you want to save that configuration. Choose Disk View, then save on exit.

You need to boot to CTRL-M, Configure, View/Add ... choose Disk View, then save on exit.
