Disable raid on smart array 5i
This may have been discussed previously, but I can't find it. I would like to know if it's possible to disable the raid function on an embedded smart array 5i plus (in a dl380 g3) and use the 5i just as a scsi controller? I intend to
use a scsi attached external raid box and want to avoid double raid overhead. Thanks.

Re: Disable raid on smart array 5i
Did you ever figure this one out? I don't see any replies. I'm looking for the same answer.

Re: Disable raid on smart array 5i
I never got an answer to this question. In the end, it was simpler to buy an additional scsi card and attach my raid box to it. This worked without problems.

Re: Disable raid on smart array 5i
Thanks for the quick response, I have already settled for buying a PCI-X SCSI Controller. Too bad, until now I had liked the Proliants better than the Poweredges.

Re: Disable raid on smart array 5i
It's quite simple : you can't just disable the RAID funtion of a 5i+... Smart array controller are pure RAID controllers, not SCSI controllers.
Also, HP only supports HP storage connected to Smart Arrays, not third party storage.
So, an additional SCSI card is the best choice.
This being said : if you looked for an external RAID solution, why didn't you look at the MSA500? relatively cheap, uses the same disks as the internal ProLiant disks, and you can connect up to 4 servers....and it connects directly to the 5i+....
