I recently had to deploy Mirantis OpenStack on 4 Dell R630 Servers.
I didn’t have to wait too long to get in trouble with raid controllers.

There is no support for PERC H330 Mini (Embedded) in the bootstrap file that comes with version 5 to 6(preview).
So I was stuck.  Fuel  could not see the local drives for the deployment. No drives = no role installation.

Though the drivers exist in standalone os’s as Ubuntu and Centos, they are not in the bootstrap part of fuel.
So I did as any other sysadmin would do. I replaced the initramfs and linux file in fuel /var/www/nailgun/bootstrap with the files I found in the bug post:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/fuel/+bug/1373014

And did the following to get the things back to operational status:

`dockerctl shell cobbler`
`cobbler sync`
`exit`
`dockerctl restart nailgun`
`dockerctl restart nginx`
