  • 1.  NVMe in HPE DL380 RAID1 possible?

    Posted Nov 23, 2021 07:17 AM

    Hello

    I got an DL380 Gen9 with 6 NVMe. They are on the PCIe bus not connected on a raid controller.
    I can see them in the ESXi is there a way to make a RAID1 of two of them?

    If so how?

    That is how I see them. I can add them ad single datastores.

    No, that is what NVMe gives you, individual devices which are not behind a common controller, there's no software raid in ESXi. For vSphere there's vSAN to provide resilience for local devices, but that is not very helpful when you only have 1 host.

    Hi thank you for your reply.
    I read something about Intel VMD and VROC.
    But I have not looked deeper into yet.
