where is my RAID

I had (hyper-v 2008 R2) install on disk 1 by itself. i also have Adaptec 5805
RAID controller with 5 Disk, 1TB each with RAID 6 configured
when i run admin consol (scvmm, or else) from my client PC, I can see my
disk one but i can't see my RAID, do I need drivers or something?

logging into the server itself (hyper-v 2008 R2), i can't see the RAID also.

any thought?

Re: where is my RAID

Yes. you will likely need a driver.

Try the 2008 driver since there is no 2008R2 driver.

Re: where is my RAID

Thanks for the reply. I will try it today.
do you think there is a risk on my RAID partitions/configurations?

another question is that do you think i can keep building up my VMs and
later i have to install the release of hyper-v 2008 R2 safely?

Re: where is my RAID

Your RAID partitions should be OK.

You will need to export your VMs before upgrading, then import them after
the upgrade.
