April 4, 20179 yr Tested the Dell H200, it's working right out of the boks, so it looks to be some problem with the H240, maybe the combinations of my hardware, not sure.
April 4, 20179 yr H240 support is very recent and very few users using one, AFAIK you're the 2nd, still strange that it works for one user an not the other. The Dell H200 (or any of its LSI cousins) is currently the best 8 port controller to use with unRAID.
April 21, 20179 yr Author So I just re-tested this with two H240s populated in both PCIe ports and getting controller lockup detected error. I think this is related to IOMMU/VT-d: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/907377 Edited April 22, 20179 yr by ezhik
June 1, 20179 yr Is there any news regarding this? Is this HP H240 HBA card working fine with the newest release of Unraid? Just bought 1 for a near future build. According to the wiki it works sinds 6.3.2 so guess i'm save Edited June 1, 20179 yr by RobinM
June 26, 20179 yr As @RobinM, I'd like to know if there is any news on the HP H240 HBM support. I'd like to build a system containing 2-3 of these cards, and since they are rather affordable while beeing comparably performant, I'd like to opt for these cards. As @RobinM already stated the official Hardware Compatibility List lists the H240 as working since unRAID v6.3.2, but what with @Tvede? (Btw. Any news from you @Tvede?) Since we are at unRAID v6.3.5, I thought, I'D ask again. Greetings, RaEyE
September 1, 20187 yr Author Reviving an old thread as we seem to have made some progress @RaEyE I just booted unraid 6.5.3 with 2 x H240's that have the following connected to it: 8 x HGST Ultrastar 4TB 2 x Micron 1TB SSDs Tested copying the files from and to the array (using samba shares), running md5's for confirmation of the data integrity. Success! The only thing that is not working - is the temperature reporting. Attaching screenshot with parity check running as a confirmation. @limetech @RobJ can we fix the temperature reporting?

Without this command we do not have proper support of the controller. I'd argue the necessity of creating a separate thread for this specific command. I say this should stay here and be included as part of THIS feature request.
September 9, 20187 yr I added "HP" as a SMART controller choice. And corrected the bug which prevented to change the controller type under Global SMART settings.

You rawk! Could you also please validate whether or not this bug is related to settings not being saved on reboot? Meaning, if I change FTP Server from Enabled to Disabled, upon reboot it goes back to Enabled. Edited September 9, 20187 yr by ezhik
September 9, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, ezhik said: if I change FTP Server from Enabled to Disabled, upon reboot it goes back to Enabled. This is a known behavior. FTP server has no setting saved, which means that on reboot it goes back to default (enabled).

Let's not flood this thread with a separate topic, I see you've addressed this previously. Thank you! Let's stay focused on HP H240 now
October 31, 20187 yr dear all, first time i'm asking for help so please be gentle so i purchased a used H240, installed on mobo and the "C1" led is solid green on the HBA no other lights just goes straight to C1 green- i believe this has something to do with crypto according to user manual i found-no idea what this means- in any case i enter into mobo bios and card is not shown filled on PCI e slot(for info msi h81 p33 mobo) goes without saying that card was not detected by unraid 6.5 -i tried downloading the hp smart array administrator and booted into it but obviously that didnt work and shows no controllers detected -i read that the card should be on firmware 4.52 or later- but i have no way to check what the firmware is as the card not picked up at bios level so hpssa cant see it and neither will downloading firmware from HP work cos how would you update it so im stuck thinking that this maybe a faulty card as mobo is good, pcie slots working just fine- im assuming if card not seen in bios then nothing can be done to flash firmware etc. can someone confirm that i have wasted my money and the card is for sure useless or is there some hope?? please help thanks daryl
March 14, 20197 yr Got a cheap HPE 240 it shows up in UnRaid and the hard disk shows up in log but can't see anywhere in my webui.I tried with my other hard disks but none of them will show up.Attaching the log!

April 10, 20206 yr Hey folks, Sorry to revive this thread, but after a few hours I've finaly succeed to mount my HDDs on two HP H240 HBA (unRAID 6.8.3). Don't know if anyone already gave this tips but I leave this post here so that I can help someone who, like me, following the purchase of an H240 card will not be able to operate it directly because you have to reset and turn on the HBA mode. I came across this topic while looking for a solution to my problem and it gave me a fairly fruitful starting point in my research. So, you, little unRAIDnewbie who's looking to save some bucks and have plenty of SATA ports on your rig, be advised: There's really no big deal when you've got the right tool. I've seen a few people talking about the HP-SSA but this is not the one. You've must try the Service Pack for Proliant (SPP). For those who struggling to find the software to be used, I strongly recommend you googling this version .. "SPP2017101" (you'll know where to find it;) - Mount it with the HP USB creator included in ISO - Boot on the USB key - Wait a bit .. - Agree to the terms and select next, - At this point, you can choose to update the firmwire on the left, and manage your array on the right. - When you go the management tab, you'll see your card on the left side, click on it (don't mind the warning, it's only if an array is mounted). - Normaly there's only two option: Power Management / Switch to HBA mode - Select the obvious one, I've not tried the firmware update, feel free to do it. - Try to reboot the soft but if you got stuck after quite a time, hard reset it .. Et voilà ! Hope this can help a few 😃 Keko Edited April 11, 20206 yr by Keko

I no longer own H240s, however I am sure somebody else would definitely be able to leverage your advise!
