Dell PowerEdge DD3300 with H740P Mini RAID
Hello,
I'm appearing to have some issues with configuring RAID on a DD3300 server.
Is there some kind of key that I'm supposed to input to get access to the full ability of the MegaRAID 740 Perc RAID card?
The only option I'm given when I enter the configuration management menu is to clear the configuration and that's it. I believe the card recognizes the 8 drives in the server, just doesn't seem to agree that it can interact with them to configure a RAID.
The drives I have installed are Dell YKT0W 900GB 15K SAS
I appreciate any ideas.

Can you share the picture of configuration management menu which you are seeing on the server. You can refer below link for HII configuration utility for H740P

I have my doubt and i think he would like to re-use the Hardware as a general server and not as an appliance anymore.

Thats a Appliance which runs ESXi and a virtual Maschine on top with the DDOS (DataDomain). The configuration is limited to its special purpose. So dont expect a standard PowerEdge Server.
