I have some old HP Proliant GL5 with HP P400i array controllers that I want to put to some use.

In a small test I have booted with Archlinux, and it was able to list the array card and network interfaces. So far so good.

In system setup (pressing f9) I have configured a array disk (RAID 1+0), successfully.

Unfortunately I cannot see the disks in lsscsi or fdisk -l.

How can I get access to the logical disk?

Is it possible to directly access the disks without the disk array and use linux to handle the RAID itself?

By the way, I'm not bound to archlinux, that was just one test. I can use other linux distributions as Debian or Ubuntu.

Best regards,

Lin

No it is not possible to expose the disks to Linux for software RAID.

The tool you need for configuring the Smart Array Controller is called hpaculi or hpssacli.

Do what you can to find a binary and use that.
