Dell Power Edge 2900 not Good for HexOS

[ShadowLeRawr]

So i have jumped though so many rabbit holes and have come to the conclusion
that my Raid Card is NOT HBA
hex OS will not work if you have a Dell PERC 5/i Raid Card, there is no way to flash it into IT Mode

your best hopes is to find a better raid card or better hardware.

I have a Power Edge R440. I turned off the RAID control, but still nothing. Should I put it in HBA mode?

What perc card is it running? 

[TheKS]

PERC H330 Adapter (Embedded)

 

Actually, it's set to HBA already. Do I change it?

Do you have each drive set to non-raid in the controller? 

[TheKS]

I think so. This is what the drive detail shows

[ubergeek]

Thats in IDrac ? You might have to boot into the controller and make sure each drive is set to non raid.. If that option is not there you might be looking at needing to see if there is a firmware flash or the need of a new controller that will allow IT mode

My Embedded SATA mode is set to AHCI. Should I turn it off?
