Support for IBM ServeRAID MR10i SAS/SATA Controller
Hi,
I'm looking for a server image cloning software that can support 2 SAS HDDs configured as RAID 1 which is using IBM ServerRAID MR10i SAS/SATA Controller. Can the Acronis boot disk detect the disk natively? The datasheet did not state SAS as a supported storage media type.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I use an IBM M5014 controller with RAID0 on SSD's disks. Since the IBM M5014 and your MR10i use the same drivers:

You should be fine. I know I have restored from a boot disk many times, and it sees my arrays on the RAID controller just fine.
I have the boot array as RAID0 with 4 SSD's, and I have my data array with 3 5TB regular disks in RAID5. I backup the RAID0 to the RAID5 daily without issues, unless of course I try to manually use the GUI while booted into Windows, then I have problems, but never with the backup, only the restore or deleting jobs in 2015 (2014 never had these issues).
