Hi everyone!
I just installed esxi 6.5 from dell media to Dell PowerEdge R530 server with isdm and 2x16GB SD cards in raid1.
When installing, the esxi installer sees the SD-Raid as 14,9GB volume.
Anyway, after install when I ssh to host:
[root@fi-esxi022:~] df -h

I first noticed this when I tried to copy new patches to the host (since I dont have any other storage yet) and run out of free space. Where did the rest of the 16GB go ?
