@jaredbusch
Thanks.
It is installed in the program files (x86) directory which the install defaulted to. When I just tried again nothing happens. When I tried the RDXutilityhelp.chm I got the message Class not registered which probably has nothing to do with the utility running or not.
I bet you are right about it needing .net or something but I can't find any documentation of requirements.
Does anyone know what it needs?

@jaredbusch the problem is it is not Windows. It is Microsoft Hyper-V server. I have made progress. If I type d: at command prompt I change to it and read the folders. Still cannotsee it, attach it or use it in any way from Hyper-V manager. That is where I think you have to configure it for pass through so that the VMs can use it.

There is an install for Dell RD1000 utilities but it won't run on Hyper-V. It would probably run on windows server and might help with the drivers.

@lj I still would like the Hypervisor OS to be able to "pass through" the RD1000 to the VMs. If anyone here has that working please let me know how. Thanks.

@lj update. I have installed Altaro VM backup and it recognizes the RD1000 and apparently has backed up my two VMs.I haven't removed and then restored yet. I don't think the VMs will be able to use the RD1000 but the Hypervisor layer can back up the VMs with it. I am making some progress. Right now it seems that I need Hyper-V manager, Windows Admin Center, Remote Desktop, 5nine file manager and Altaro to remotely manage one hypervisor and 2 VMs.

our physical box is a DellT330 with a Dell RD1000 removeable drive. I cannot get the Rd100 to work. Windows Admin Center can see it under devices and under storage->Disks . Hyper-V manager does not see it anywhere. I got the install package for Dell Rd1000 utilities to run but the program itself will not run.

I want to learn virtualization and have spent a lot of time getting this far but I really need to get this up and running. I am about ready to install Windows Server 2016 w/GUI.

Has anyone here been successful in getting Hyper-V or a virtual server on Hyper-V to use this device? I would appreciate any help. I may be a little intermittent about checking back but I know I will be able to a couple of times a day. thanks.
