Hey Guys,

 

I've purchased a bunch of HP H240 HBAs (and set the mode to HBA with "balanced" power settings) and I wondering what would it take to migrate the array from one HBA (let's say SAS2108) to HP H240?

 

I did a quick test and the sata drives were detected OK and were assigned to their respective positions, however the two cache drives that I have (patriot 240gb ssd) were appearing as unassigned. And when I attempted to re-assign them - the page was getting refreshed and the drives stayed unassigned...

 

Has anybody performed similar operation before when migrating between HBAs?

 

Thank you,

- ezhik.

OK so this is annoying... I am attempting to mount cache drives to the migrated hba and it is not getting anywhere...

I select a cache devices, the page refreshes and it still says "no device"

 

Thoughts?

Try connecting the SSDs to motherboard SATA ports.

 

That's not a bad idea. But motherboard ports are only sata 2.

That's interesting. I connected the drives to the motherboard and it worked...

 

Why isn't it working with H240? All the other drives are assigned correctly?

Getting read errors now from the drives conneted to H240...

 

Possible to take a look at the proper support for HP H240 HBA please?

Going to try latest 6.3.0 RC tonight.

 

Cheers.

Nope. 6.3.0-RC3 did not work either.
