Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) Configuration with RAID1 in Two NVMe* drives On MiTAC

SivakumarM — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 10:45:07 GMT

We need support regarding a challenging issue we have encountered while attempting to clone one Mitac server to another server or pull a clone image to a remote location using the open-source software "Clonezilla." Unfortunately, we have been unable to successfully complete the cloning process and we believe it is related to the Intel VROC configuration in the BIOS for RAID1.

We are able to clone successfully in Non-RAID server.

Processor Model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6338N CPU @ 2.20GHz

Bios Version: 0.53

Model: Whitestone A

Hello SivakumarM,

Since the non-RAID server is working, this seems to be a software limitation. We recommend visiting the open-source software "Clonezilla" forums for support.

As well, BIOS configuration from an OEM board is not supported.

Let me know if you have any question.

Best regards,
