It really looks like you have the non-RAID version of the adapter.

Hi,

It seems you have hmc as you have created lpars. So from hmc go to server profile and in io check for the adapter. If its raid card then there will be RAID adapter. Its a simplest way to check for your hardware details.

Regards,

VJM

@vjm:

No, I don't have HMC connected to it at all. Regardless of HMC connection, RAID Controller / Adapter should work independently.

@ross.mather
Apparently this is the case , NON-RAID Adapter. But need a confirmation.

I tried with the filesets as mentioned by BAKUNIN but doesn't work
devices.pci.1410be02 device driver package

any other suggestions ?

"Could someone tell me why I unable to create pdisks for a RAID Array"
Because there is no evidence that you have a raid adapter.
What makes you think you do when none of your devices report in as raid adapters.
You simply don't have to load drivers for AIX, the install does that for you.
YOU DO NOT HAVE A RAID ADAPTER IN YOUR SYSTEM!
HTH ;0)

grrrrrrrr

Which part of "you don't have one" you couldn't understand?

You can ask the question again as often as you want, but this will fail to make the adapter RAID-capable in a predictable fashion - any time.
