How do I get a normal disk going (PERC H710 Mini) with perccli?

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.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
