DL360 G7 PCIe riser SSD Xenserver boot

[TroTro]

Greetings,

We have just aquired a DL360 G7 with intention of installing Xenserver on it and after installing PCIe to Sata adapter on the PCI riser with Samsung SSD the device does not seem to be recognized by the raid configuration utility, ie at post the PCIe is shown with unknown device status.

Wondering if I ought to just go ahead and try the Xenserver installation and see if Linux recognizes the drive. Not sure how else to get around issue as if the SATA adapter needs a driver I suppose I am out of luck using it as a boot device?

Thank you,
