UCS C220 M5SX - UEFI, unable to boot 12G LSI Card

[avs262]

Hi,

UCS C220 M5SX

BIOS: C220M5.3.1.3c.0.0307181404

RAID controller firmware: 50.1.0-1048

When setting the BIOS to legacy mode I am able to see the Cisco 12G MegaRaid Controller just fine, and I see the controller POST during boot. Once I move BIOS into UEFI mode, the controller no longer POST's and I don't see it as an option in the boot menu. Integraded/software RAID is disabled.

Anyone run into this before?

Thanks!

I was able to get this working by manually creating a boot option via the BIOS.

The F2, advanced tab should have a UEFI based Megaraid setup utility (better than the Cntrl+R text one).

If you intend to utilize UEFI boot method, you can either use the legacy mode option ROM (cntrl + R) to setup the raid volumes, then switch back to UEFI mode, and run your UEFI mode ISO to install.

Make sure you choose the UEFI DVD option via the F6 menu, so your OS will know it needs to accommodate a UEFI boot config, create UEFI boot table entry, etc.
