[Discuss] New to VMWare DataStores



I am new to VMWare Datastores.   Previous positions have already had a
vCenter system built and enterprise-storage ready.

We just installed a new Dell R520 PowerEdge server with 4 x 4 TB SAS
drives, vCenter 5.5.0 preinstalled, and a 2 TB boot disk.

Do we need to create a PERC RAID set with the 4 TB disks for vCenter
to see that volume as a Datastore?

I've been googling to see what is fundamentally needed for disks to be
visible in vCenter for a Datastore to be created.

Thanks.

Scott
