I read on the wiki that you have to build ESOS manually to include the driver for the Dell H730 Raid controller. I just don't seem to fully understand how I add this at build time.
I might be blind, but I cannot see the correct argument I need to use on the help page.
If anyone could elaborate me on this, I would be very grateful.

Thanks.

The H730 controller is an LSI\Broadcom chip in it. The pre-built image should support it.

Funny.
I just get told that it didn't find any controllers when I try.

You may be referring the TUI and trying to perform storage
provisioning functions (add/remove/etc.) on the H730 RAID controller?
If so, the TUI may be complaining that the proprietary CLI tool isn't
installed/available (which it's not by default). See the
'raid_tools.py' script for bringing this tool into the running ESOS
instance.

As Chris mentioned, the driver is already built-in, so you could just
configure the drives/RAID via the option ROM setup utility at boot
time. Then once configured use the TUI to create SCST devices and map
them as LUNs, etc.
