setup-storage: error

[Alexander Bugl]

Hi all,

I am new to setup-storge, and on my second test machine I ran into an error:

The machine is a Sun x4240 with currently 15 HDDs, the first two are
configured as RAID 1 Volume using the HW RAID Controller built into the
x4240.

Any idea, what is going wrong? Any hint would be helpful ...

Thanks, with regards, Alex
