Hi All,

I tried to deployed Proxmox on an"old" DELL PowerEdge R710 that has Perc 6/i controler.
No disk where detected as I need to build RAID 0,1,... VD disk.
I can't use JBOD on this old 3GPBS controler.
It seams that I should replace it with DELL H200 controler. Butin which mode ? IR or IT ?
With IR I will proably keep iDrac feature (if I succeed to udpate it) ?
With IT may be I get more direct access to disk from VM ?

What are your recommendations ?
Any tips on old DELL R710 ? like bios or firmware upgrade ?
I did update BIOS to last version 6.6.0
Also for PERC 6/i but i will remove it.
Any thing for the integrated NIC ?
I also have 2 other controlers for external connection to Disk bay, how could I identify them and upgrade them if need.
Any end to end guid on DELL R710 will be apreciated.

Thanks in advance.
