Configuring Linux RAID
NOTE: The S130 controller supports only RHEL 7.3, SLES 11 SP4, and SLES 12 SP2. The Linux installer fails to detect the
virtual disks, if the RHEL 7.1 or earlier, SLES 11 SP3 or earlier.
NOTE: The Linux RAID feature is supported on all the 13th generation systems.
NOTE: If you are configuring Linux RAID for RHEL 7.2 on the PowerEdge R330, R230, T330, and T130 systems, ensure that
you download the latest Driver Update Disk (DUD) available at https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/
ver=/rhel---7/7.2/x86_64/product-software.
NOTE: If you are configuring Linux RAID for SLES 11 SP4 or SLES 12 SP2 on the PowerEdge R330, R230, T330, and T130
