Re: HP Smart Array P212 does not show up in BIOS
If HP Smart array P212 controller is recognised in HP ACU and you were able to create raid then the issue could be related to the controller driver.
SUSE does not have HP Smart array controller driver integrated into OS and you need to provide driver during installation
I'm not sure about the SUSE Linux OS version that you have
providing link for Driver Diskette for HP ProLiant Smart Array Controller (x86/AMD32) for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (x86)
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3984625&swItem=MTX-50a01b12141b4d078929682f30&prodNameId=3984626&swEnvOID=2065&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=3
You may download the driver Diskette from HP website and provide during installation.
Other facts :
1. Hope you have connected the hard drives to smart array controller using 487734-B21 cable.
2. ML110 G6 comes with B110i integrated SATA Raid controller so you need to set it up on compatible mode as you are not using that controller and its raid functionality.
3. system bios and P212 controller firmware is latest.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Aftab

Re: HP Smart Array P212 does not show up in BIOS
The data comunication is not via I/O bus on the system board.
Need to get the cable kit and install it on the server:

Re: HP Smart Array P212 does not show up in BIOS
If the firmware is 2.74 or below you will have this issue.

Re: HP Smart Array P212 does not show up in BIOS
Hi Paul,
System BIOS - System ROM
Version: 2010.09.06 (30 Sep 2010)
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3984625&swItem=MTX-ec28a33d64674acdbfabbe845c&prodNameId=3984626&swEnvOID=2065&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=3
Installation:
The SCEXE components are self-extracting executable files. The SCEXE file unpacks itself, flashes the ROM, and cleans up.
To flash a ROM:
Download the file to the target server.
Smart array P212 Controller firmware
Type: Firmware - Storage Controller
Version: 3.52 (13 Oct 2010)
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3984625&prodNameId=3984626&swEnvOID=2065&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-0a3ad21cebc4426ba025b49ce1
Installation:
To update firmware from Linux operating system on target server:
Login as root. (You must be root in order to apply the ROM update.)
Place the Smart Component in a temporary directory.
From the same directory, run the Smart Component. For example: ./CPXXXXXX.scexe
Follow the directions given by the Smart Component.
Reboot your system if you would like the update to take effect immediately.
try the Latest SUSE Linux Driver diskette from HP during installation as similar issue I had on another flavor of Linux has been fixed by software diskette.
thanks,
Aftab
