Raid 10 on x3650M4 with ServerRaid M5510e

It will be easier if raid setup can be done in ServerGuide but unfortunately at the time I was writing this post ServerGuide 9.23 did not work with my x3650 M4 7915.

1. Turn on the server and press F1 at the IBM startup screen.

2. Select Server Settings - Adapter and UEFI drivers then press Enter (to compile the list of drivers)

3. Select the type of Raid card which is in your server

4. You will have 2 options EFI WebBios and EFI CLI . Select option 1 EFI WebBios

5. Select your raid card and click Start

6. Select Configuration Wizard at MegaRaid Bios Config Utility screen.

7. Select New Configuration then Manual Congiguration and click Next

8. Select DriveGroup0 on the right pane (DriveGroups) and select half of physical disk on the left pane (Drives) and click Add to Array.

9. Click Accept DG. MegaRaid will display another drive group DriveGroup1

10. Select new DriveGroup1 on the right pane then select the rest hard disk on the left pane and click on Add to Array.

11. Click Accept DG. In the right pane you will have 3 drivegroups but only 2 has size displayed. The size of dirvegroup is the size of your hard disk.

12. Click Next.

13. In the Span Definition screen select each of DriveGroup in the combo box and click Add to Span.

14. Click Next.

15. If the type of Raid is 10 that means you do thing right. Click Update Size and then Accept.

16. The next screen will display Raid level of every drivegroup. In my case it is Raid0.

17. Click Next then Accept to finish

Good luck :-)
