February 8, 201412 yr I'm trying to setup my Proliant DL380G4 as a test box for unRAID. It's not working out exactly as I had hoped. The unRAID kernal isn't seeing my drives at all. unfortunately I havent found a way to flash the Integrated Smart Array 6i into IT mode. So instead I have each disk setup as an independent raid 0. I'm unsure if unRAID supports Ultra320 SCSI drives, or if it supports the controller Anyone have a line on any advice, drivers, firmware that I may need to get this working? I'd love to use this otherwise useless server as a test box.
February 9, 201412 yr The drivers you want are cciss and hpsa, but even with them I am not sure it will work.
February 9, 201412 yr unraid doesn't support SCSI and even with the newer SAS/SATA controller from HP it won't work .... they are all smart array contollers Hp has a few LSI based controllers though but again you would need to replace your drive bays for it to be compatible with SATA / SAS
February 9, 201412 yr I'm not going to go as far as say there is no way to make it work, but I doubt it will be worth the effort. Since you have a RAID card, what are you really going to get from the unRAID? The G4 is a power hungry box, and noisy. It's not like you can go get a 4TB SCSI drive to add to it. And for a "test" platform, install ESXi and run unRAID as guest with no real drives (all VMDKs). Or trade it for a basic desktop with a few SATA drives.
