I've got Intel S5520HCR(S5520HC) motherboard with two HDD's (Western Digital RE4 2003FYYS 2.0TB).
There is integrated RAID controller in this motherboard which allows to create RAD's 0,1,10 levels. I need to create RAID1 and install on it FreeBSD 8.1.
I have turn off fast boot in BIOS and changed SATA Controller to "SW RAID". Then I restarted server and pressed <CTRL>+<E> to enter Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II.
There I created RAID1. Then I restarted server (there was line something like this during loading: "RAID1 Online"). Then I started to install FreeBSD and it shows that there are 2 disks found and no RAID1 =(
I really can't understand if this motherboard allows to create fully hardware RAID1 or I need to install some driver to let my newly created RAID1 work? Or it will be easier to create software RAID1 in FreeBSD?
Thanks to all.
