Help HP P410i controller Raid setup (self.homelab) submitted 1 year ago * by trumee I have inherited an HP DL380 G6 server which has a disk array attached to it. Re: P410i / P410 / P411 / P812 I have done this with a rx2800i2 and a rx2800i4. You always need to set the controller in RAID mode (not HBA mode, but this is the default).
it's me again :( I've asked a question here a few minutes ago ( HP B110i controller not seeing storage array. Any ideas? )
Turns out I was wrong, and there IS a P411 controller built in, I verified by opening up the server.
The problem has changed somewhat now. The server/BIOS is seeing the built in P410 and the onboard B110i (I get the 'Initializing' messages for both, and get the option to enter ORCA or CLI setup for the P410, but it's not seeing the P411.
The manual claims the server would self-configure, and I couldn't find any further options in BIOS or elsewhere.
Sorry for having to ask again, but any ideas how to activate the P411? I checked the status LEDs on the controller, and only the 'Port 2 active' LED is on, steady light, irrespective of if there's a SAS cable connected and to which of the two ports, and the port light on the D2600 isn't lighting up.
Any ideas?
P.S.: The SAS cables have a diamond on one connector and a circle on the other. Does this have any significance? I couldn't find any reference to this. I tried it both ways around, didn't make a difference.

This has nothing to do with the cables, if the machine's not being seen on boot then there's something very wrong. Try changing the slot the card's in, if that doesn't work flag it as dead on arrival and get a new one.

I'd recommend calling HP support in this case to troubleshoot or arrange for a replacement controller. You can also contact the vendor. To clarify, a Smart Array P410 is an internal-only controller. The Smart Array P411 has external ports on the PCIe card faceplace in order to interface with external storage units.

Sata Raid Controller Driver
I've seen this error before. I was experimenting. With the power off, I removed the drives from an array and put them back in a different order. The array controller recognizes that the drives belong to an array it created, but thinks they're not in the slots they were before.
If I were to go out on a limb (of hopefulness) I'd try powering the server down completely - remove the cords and let it go completely cold. Remove and reseat each drive. Then power on again. If the drives were unseated by thermal creep, that might reset them. HOWEVER, it could scramble the array completely. So make that a last option.
Could it also be that the array lost power - bad battery - and lost its configuration?
I have read some examples of rebuilding an array. It goes like this:
Intel Raid Controller Driver
1. Remove all drives - remember their locations.
2. Boot. Go into the RAID utility. DELETE all drives and all arrays. Don't just acknowledge the errors.
3. Power down. Insert drives in the original order.
4. Boot. Go into the RAID array. If the metadata on the drives is intact, the array should be recognized.

AGAIN, don't make this your first option in case it scrambles your data.
