Dell R770 - Sangfor HCI Installation

We decided to migrate to the Sangfor HCI architecture via VMware, purchased our servers, and completed the installations. Our live tests were successful. It is performing very well.  My only recommendation for users wishing to install on the R770 Series server is that the driver specified below must be installed for the RAID card, and certain settings need to be configured on the R770.  Sangfor, Nexta, and TechnoBT provided extensive support during the installation.

1. Dell System -> BIOS -> Device Settings -> Controller Settings
Mode “Non-RAID”
2. Dell System -> BIOS -> Device Settings -> Controller Settings -> Physical Disk Management
“Convert to Non-RAID”

I am also providing the list of hardware used on the R770 server.

Broadcom BCM57414 2x25G OCP
