I have a Dell PowerEdge R720 which boots up and has 1.7 TB of drive space but I can't seem to get any of it and use it. When I try and install Fedora there are no available drives to install it to.

I need to use perccli to run a command to make either all or some of this 1.7 TB available as a drive right?

I ran "perccli64 /c0 add vd each r0 drives=32:1-7"

Thinking this would give me some new drives when I run "df" but it did not.

The images above show output of current setup.

PERC H710 does not support passing plain disk to the OS; you need to create a virtual disk to let the OS recognize it.

Rather than messing with perccli64 via the command line, it is simpler to access the PERC BIOS interface pressing CTRL+R during boot. From here, you can configure a virtual disk with the required redundancy level. Please do not use single or multi drive RAID-0 unless you really know what you are doing, because a single fault will bring your server down.

After doing that, you need to format and mount the resulting block device before df can list anything.
