If you disable the "hide system option rom messages" in the "advanced options" menu in the bios you will see all the rom options during post boot.

Thank you so much for posting this video! I just got 2 new 600GB drives and wasn't seeing them in ESXi. After looking and looking, youre about the only person that's posted a video on raid config on a dl380 g7. Thanks!

[@computerjantje]

Yep same here :)

[@enrique086]

Nice books behind.. thanks for your video, I was dealing with this for a couple of hours until I reach your video. Thanks!

I feel the need to post this comment here because it took me some time to figure it out and this video gave me some of the clues I needed. I am working on a HP Proliant DL120 G7 and was desperately searching for the RAID menu. In order to have the F8 corresponding option presented to you, you must: 1. access the ROM-Based Setup Utility menu 2. go into Advanced Options --> SATA Controller Options --> Embedded SATA Configuration --> Enable SATA RAID Support Thanks for the video!

OMGGGGG!!!!! DUDE I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET TO THIS MENU FOR MONTHS. I have a hp proliant dl360 g7 and you just made me sooooo happy! thanks so much

[@computerjantje]

Thank you Thank thank you I was getting rather desperate windows not recognizing any drives present until you showed me the f8 raid setup that still needed to be done. Pewww no the system is installing windows and I can relax again. thank you from The Netherlands Europe

Hello! How to disable RAID in this menu ? Thanks! - Hello

[@dorfkind9825]

mhm I've 8 drives installed, it says there are no available logial drives

[@max0r4axor]

you have to create them

[@fredman1365]

I finally figured out how to do this. Thank you. Does anyone know how to solve the problem with installing windows server after this step? It keeps saying windows cant install due to drive not recognized for boot or something. Tried making it the boot disk still doesn't work.

[@GreighThunda]

I'd format the drive in the server theb partition it then raid em. Check within the Windows Setup if it shows up then wipe it in windows setup format it and start it again.

[@Mo7amed3Atef]

Thanks that helped me so much

[@bossbravo2610]

if one drive in the array is amber can you just put replacement in and it will self build then boot? or what??

[@GreighThunda]

it should I usually do Raid 5 just to make sure I can but that's how it works lol get the same model drives and it takes time but it will rebuild

[@bossbravo2610]

@@GreighThunda Thanks - Hoping for the best. keep you posted. Drive replacement on way

[@shahidmalik9924]

My server is not working now . Plz help me... Greigh thunda

Very useful

[@ronpomerleau3292]

Is there a method to reset a lost Admin password?

[@drpainlesss]

do you have ssd in dl380? mines cant go full speed for some reason

[@dumbboatproject]

drpainlesss found a solution?

[@drpainlesss]

@@dumbboatproject nope

[@dumbboatproject]

@@drpainlesss i think i figured it out, g7 uses sata 2/SAS backplane and even with the battery backup write cache enabled you won't ever get full speeds.

[@drpainlesss]

@@dumbboatproject Primocache gives me ok speeds lately i cannot found better solution than using software

[@dumbboatproject]

@@drpainlesss I have given up on the HP server for now because of this flaw and the firmware updates are impossible to get.

[@SreemanthP]

thank you

[@PillBoxUK]

I have done this on thousands of servers, from G1s all the way to G10s. Super boring!

[@LPAtkins]

Thanks, I don't understand why this is so hidden.

[@leading4Him]

I have the exact machine and it takes FOREVER before the video comes up.
