SR S100i Cannot See SATA M.2

[Harrell0]

Hello

I have a DL325 Gen 10+ V2 Server with the Univeral STAT HH M.2 kit and 2 480GB SSDs installed. When the S100i is disabled the drives show as two SSDs. When the contollor is enabled it shows no drives in the system. 

With the Univeral kit, what needs to be configured so that I can create a RAID 1 array with the SSDs?

After speaking with HPE Support, when SATA M.2 SSDs are installed in the DL325 Gen10+ and V2 servers in the Unniversal SATA HH M.2 kit, the onboard SR100i Contollor cannot be used to configure a RAID array. 

Here is the HPE document on the sbuject matter - https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=a00116197en_us

3 opitions are aviable for a solution 

1 - Get drive trays and adapters and install in the front of the server

2 - Install another RAID Contoloor

3 - Install the HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device.
