I've got a HP ProLiant DL380 G5 rack server I've been trying to put unRAID on. I've got unRAID booted but I can't seem to get it to recognise my 4x 72GB SAS drives.

After a search about I found people saying that having the drives just unassigned won't work (which is what I was trying) but putting each drive into it's own RAID0 should mean that each drive can be found individually (not directly to the drive as this is RAID0 not JBOD). I tried that and that also shows nothing in unRAID.

Sadly as far as I can find, the P400 card doesn't support JBOD but I don't really want to have to fork out for a new card if I can help it.

 

I thought maybe this card just wasn't compatible and there was nothing I could do about it but this post on this forum seems to say that the P400 cards do work. I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction.

 

If anyone's interested the plan is to use unRAID to host a pair of VMs which will be accessible over VNC. So how exactly I store data isn't too big of an issue as long as I have somewhere to install the VMs. I already have a working in-house fileserver which I'm going to map the VM user's home directory to.

 

Thanks

Im gona bump this , because i have the same server and i would like to use it aswel

as discussed in another thread, P400 is not supported. Get an hba and you'll be all set.
