Is the hard drive/s you want to boot from connected the same controller as the 220? If so you should be able to designate which array is bootable or not in the controller card. If they aren't then try to change the boot order of devices in the server bios or disable it in the controller card.
-----Original Message----- From: Robert Jackson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 05, 2010 7:09 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: ESXi 4 With SCSI RAID I've got an old DELL PE6850 with a Dell PV220S external SCSI RAID array attached. I was hoping to use the equipment as part of a VMware test project. However when the PV220S is connected to the server, it reason becomes the boot device and ESXi 4 fails to load. Disconnect the PV220S and everything boots as normal. Can anyone suggest how to get the system booted so that I can have full use of the external RAID?
