Keint Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Hello, I already have a custom server running well, but I need more power ... I have a DL380P G8 that I can transform to unread server; I tried but isn't working ... I guess is because I have a pic 420i ? I can see only one of my HD with name LOGICIAL I read can I can buy a card like HPE H220. is it a good solution ? Is it plug and play ? I found this on Ebay: HP h220 6gbs PCI-E 3.0 Adaptateur HBA LSI 9205-8i 9207 p20 IT Thanks a lot for you advise Edited September 10, 2021 by Keint Quote Link to comment
vecso Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 hi i got the same machine and it works just fine with the p420. every raid is an individual disk raid0 i think. Quote Link to comment

Mixim Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 You can switch the P420i card into IT mode (plenty of guides on the web), then it will stop being a RAID controller, and your individual disks will appear in unraid. You’ll need to tweak the drive config in unraid to get the individual disk temperatures showing correctly, but other than that it should work perfectly (of course, using another HBA card will also work but you’ll need to buy longer mini SAS cables as the internal cables aren’t quite long enough, also the drive LEDs may not work either, it depends on the HBA card firmware IIRC) Quote Link to comment
Mixim Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Note….If you already have a RAID set configured, you’ll lose your data when you switch the card into IT mode. Quote Link to comment
PixieDust1975 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I think I used this guide for getting the raid card into IT mode (HBA) Then decided not to use one of my DL380p for unraid as I would have to buy another licence but instead I made it into proxmox then truenas scale (x4 times so far) just can't get any to run how I want. But my asus server with LSI 2008 (IT mode) has been working flawlessly for about 12 months. Quote Link to comment
