I am trying to install ESXi 6.5 on a Dell Precision Workstation. The workstation is configured with:
- two 512GB SATA SSD drives
- four 1TB SSD drives connected to a PCIe card
When I get to the part where it asks where I want to install ESXi, only the two SATA drives are visible. (There is no Raid involved, the PCIe drives are connected directly to the PCIe card)
As a test, I tried installing Windows 10 x64, and when I got to the part to choose where to install Windows, it sees all six drives with no problem.
Do I need a special driver for SSD drives attached to a PCIe controller? Windows installer seems to see them as "regular drives".
Thanks for any guidance.
