The correspondence between VMware and virtual disk in Cisco Drac

The author faces the following problems:

I have a Cisco C240 server, which has 10 of the same size SAS local disk, a piece of SSD. One of the two SAS disks consists of a RAID 1 virtual drive. The other nine SAS disks are made into separate virtual drives. So here's the problem, we're going to install ESXi on Virtual drive on RAID 1. What's the choice?

In the installation interface of ESXi, you can see that the size of the disk is 837.26 GiB. cannot be distinguished.

You can see more information, LUN ID, Target ID, PATH, etc. when you view the detail of a particular disk.

What information about the disk can be seen in the Cisco Drac?

Here it is.

Conclusion: After testing, the Target ID seen in ESXi corresponds to the Virtual Drive number in Drac one by one.

Answer the original question. We can see that virtual drive Number 10 for RAID 1 is required to install the ESXi operating system. To the installation interface of ESXi, locate the target ID 10 and install it.

The above conclusion is very important, if play Scaleio such server-side virtual SAN, do not know the problem is which disk, you still dare to move? Don't move, how do you maintain your back-end storage?

Thank the Great God Vincent Shen Conjecture, the conclusion of the author through the pro-test verification.
