The newest line of PowerEdge R450 servers moved off the 'onboard sata controller' and now require the use of either a full scale Perc H750 controller (overkill) or the cheaper HBA355i (when using software raid).
We went with the HBA355i for the new R450 cp hosts, and have pending delivery of 16 of them to eqsin next week, as well as 16 of them delivered in ulsfo. This issue was discovered during setup of cp4045 via T317244.
