Also, try /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/hpsahba -h

Can you do find / -name hpsahba and post results please ?

Yes, it would, but I don't know how much of the host you need to implement and use this on a container. No rush at all. Compiling patchs with Kernel Helper works. Do have in mind Unraid kernel versions, patch are different.

The repo has 2 parts. The first one is to enable passthrough (AKA HBA) mode in the controller. The tool "tells" the RAID controller to change its internal configuration, doing it immediately, without requiring reboot. I was referring to this when I said change modes. However, to get system actually see and use disks in HBA mode, the kernel patches are required. That is where https://github.com/im-0/hpsahba/tree/master/kernel come into pay. After the patch, this functionality is disabled by default. To enable, load module hpsa with parameter hpsa_use_nvram_hba_flag set to "1". Or set it in the kernel command line: "hpsa.hpsa_use_nvram_hba_flag=1". Or even edit syslinux.cfg to include the flags. But patchs need to be done before, if not, the module will have no idea what flag are you talking about. HPESSA (HPE Smart Storage Administrator) is a tool to manage, diagnose, and monitor HPE array controllers and the SAS host bus adapters. You can use it with the P410i to create, modify and remove arrays, but you can't set it in HBA mode.

You can't change modes using iLO. Neither it can be done with HPESSA (HPE Smart Storage Administrator) live CD / software. It was only available for itanium-based servers only (officially). I change the mode using a Ubuntu Desktop Live USB.

Yes. Repo is quite good documented as well. I don't think it would be necessary to install the hpsahba tool (maybe in a separated docker?). Patchs are for kernels 4.x and 5.x

Absolutely.

Before or after the patch ? And if after, before or after the parameter ?

Ok, I make it work. Sadly, I had to pop out one of the drives and use a drive-to-usb adapter and create the array to use docker. After read how that pugin/docker works, it was quite easy. Once you have it working, create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ called hpsa.conf and place the following options hpsa hpsa_use_nvram_hba_flag=1 With that it will load the parameter on load. So, after that, modprobe -r hpsa modprobe hpsa and you should see the drives. Thanks a lot @ich777!

In the repo https://github.com/im-0/hpsahba there are instructions for kernels 4.x and 5.x, so no problem for 6.8.2, 6.8.3, 6.9.0rc1 and 6.9.0rc2. The problem with that approach is that you need docker, and because the driver is not patch, the array is not started due to no disks listed. Am I wrong @ich777?

Thumbs up to this change. It would be nice to have it implemented, even as a plugin. Mode can be easily change with an Ubuntu Desktop Live USB, but driver patch needs to be done within UnRAID. Patch is from 2018, but sadly was rejected. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-scsi/patch/[email protected]/ root@Tower:~# lsscsi [0:0:0:0] disk SanDisk Cruzer Blade 1.00 /dev/sda [1:0:0:0] storage HP P410i 6.64 - root@Tower:~# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT loop0 7:0 0 11.4M 1 loop /lib/modules loop1 7:1 0 18.6M 1 loop /lib/firmware sda 8:0 1 7.5G 0 disk └─sda1 8:1 1 7.5G 0 part /boot
