Cannot see the Storage Section from the iDrac interface.<\/p>\n
I have seen other posts where users suggest “this is because iDrac is initializing before the raid controller”, but there does not appear to be any solutions referenced.<\/p>\n
Can the sequence be controlled? Or is a firmware upgrade needed? If the latter, why would DELL ever create the system in a manner in which the iDrac could not see their own RAID controller?<\/p>","upvoteCount":4,"answerCount":5,"datePublished":"2018-06-19T15:04:08.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ziceman","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/ziceman"},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Youll need a later generation of hardware<\/p>\n
The r710 is very old, later models such as r730 can see the storage much better<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2018-06-19T15:19:16.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/dell-idrac-storage-missing-r710/657701/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"maxsec","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/maxsec"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Hi,<\/p>\n
Martin is correct, this was added in the iDRAC8 on the 13th gen servers. Newer features were also added with 14 gen. http://en.community.dell.com/cfs-file/__key/telligent-evolution-components-attachments/13-4491-00-00-20-44-44-33/Comparison-of-the-features-of-Dell-EMC-iDRAC9-and-iDRAC8.pdf?forcedownload=true<\/a><\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2018-06-19T18:31:10.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/dell-idrac-storage-missing-r710/657701/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"josh-dell","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/josh-dell"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":" Can the iDRAC functionality be upgraded in this older machine?
