We are trying to install the preview on Lenovo MX1021 certified nodes. The install program says it cannot install to the M.2 RAID drive which is the boot media on these systems.

Hello,
Thank you for the update and confirmation. I am glad to hear you were able to get the installation working. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Best Regards,

Hi. Install worked fine once we booted from a USB key (UEFI boot), instead of remote media (which only worked in Legacy mode).
Thanks for your help.
It would also be useful to know more about the disk controller. I assume these M.2 devices are SATA and not NVMe, so knowing the RAID adapter model would be most helpful.
It is a SATA RAID adapter for M.2 drives, Marvell 88SE9230 6 Gbps SATA controller.
Hello,
If you remove all partitions from the disk you are attempting to install to and allow the setup to recreate them, does this make any difference? Also, as a troubleshooting step, could you try to 'hide' or temporarily remove the additional disks in the system to see if this makes a difference?
Best Regards,

There were no partitions on Drive 0 when we started. I created that partition to see if it helped. When we installed Server 2019, we had to remove the partition and let setup create them.
Also, we did have to load the RAID driver from USB when we installed Srv2019.
Hello,
Thank you for the additional information. The setup procedure for Azure Stack HCI should be pretty much the same as Server 2019. Did you try loading the RAID driver within the AzSHCI setup as well?
Best Regards,
Trent
Thank you for this extra info. This should work fine for both WS2019 and AzSHCI Preview, so may be a bug - I'll raise this internally and get back to you. Thank you!
