Please click 'add Local HDD', give it a name, and reference slot 'HBA', and then retry rebooting.  Your F2 boot options screen should start showing the LSI VD0 as an option after that.

sorry ,  i can't see it in F2 boot options

i saw 0 virtual drive is handled by BIOS

[Kirk J]

When you go back to the CIMC, BIOS, boot order, does it still show your Local HDD entry?

Also, go ahead and change the drop down configured boot mode, to 'legacy'

Can you send a screen shot of your now configured Local HDD boot order screen?

Thanks,

Kirk

[tian chen]

yes , i can see it in the boot order .

Can you go into the BIOS when the server boots by pressing F2, then go to boot options in BIOS and ensure the RAID controller is enabled?

Thanks,

Wes

[tian chen]

im sure  raid controller is enabled,

i think problem is   ,theis message : 0 virtual drive is handled by BIOS,

BIOS can't  find the vd ,

[Wes Austin]

I agree, the controller is enabled, however, if it is not in the BIOS boot order, I would not expect BIOS to find the VD :)

Please make sure the controller is in the Boot Options in the BIOS. It is another tab just like "Advanced Options"

HTH,

Wes

[Wes Austin]

Tian,

This is the Advanced Tab......please go to the "Boot Options" Tab and ensure the controller is enabled.

Thanks,

Wes

[tian chen]

in boot options , the check controllsers is enabled.

[Wes Austin]

Are you able to set the raid controller as boot option #1 ?
