  • 1.  Determining Raid level and local disk array

    Hi everyone,  quick question is there any way to see the raid level of the underlying disks for a local disk array on a server on ESXi 5.0?

    It depends on the host (vendor/model) and whether you either have the appropriate CIM providers or vendor tools installed on the host.

    The model is a Dell PowerEdge 710

    You may want to take a look at Monitoring Dell PowerEdge RAID Controllers in VMware ESXi - Dell TechCenter - TechCenter - Dell Community to see whether this helps.

    You may be able to get all of this information from within vCenter using the Hardware Status Page. The screenshot is of a Dell server, but these may show up for HP server - YMMV. enter image description here
