Good afternoon!
Dear experts, I ask for your help! On a fairly bearded server (Supermicro X8DTU (Win 2012 R2)) one disk broke in raid10. You can add a new disk to the array through Intel Rapid Storage (on the 9th generation, it did it that way, without problems), but there are no drivers and utilities for this board under win 2012 r2 on the official website. :(
Initially, Matrix Storage Manager was running.
I downloaded the latest version from the intel website, installed it and rebooted... windows didn't start anymore
.
:( there was one role of the hypervisor, and I quickly (stupidly) reinstalled everything.I
would really appreciate your idea or advice.Thank
you!

From my experience, the built-in raid controller on servers is an atavism, so the advice is to buy some kind of BU iron raid from Adaptec 3405 or another model for $ 50-100 at a flea market, it will allow you to do hot-swap - no downtime and reboots.

When the server starts up, the RAID configuration utility should be displayed before the OS boots.
