The topics in this section describe how to configure ServeRAID-SCSI controllers in conjunction with the installation of a supported 64bit operating system.
ServeRAID-SCSI controllers use the
ipssend utility to perform RAID configuration. This utility is not supported for 64-bit versions of
Windows Preinstallation Environment. Therefore, when you combine RAID configuration of affected controllers with the installation of a supported 64bit operating system, you must follow the steps described in the following topics to create separate pieces of media for RAID configuration and operating system installation.
The following RAID controllers use the
ipssend utility and are therefore affected by this limitation:
- ServeRAID 4H
- ServeRAID 4Lx
- ServeRAID 4Mx
- ServeRAID 5i
- ServeRAID 6i/6i+
- ServeRAID 6M
- ServeRAID 7k
