Re: DL360e G8 - / B320i RAID Controller cannot be configured (kernel-panic)

The same tools are used to configure the P420. The error you are seeing is from the tools not the controller. Until you can run  HPSSA you cannot configure RAID on the controller.

Re: DL360e G8 - / B320i RAID Controller cannot be configured (kernel-panic)

Excuse the bump, but this is the first thread on Google that came up when I searched for "raid b320i kernal panic not syncing vfs dl360e hpe". I found the OP's posts to be a very similar situation that I found myself in.

Jimmy Vance's suggested work around at the end was correct for our team: the raid controller was fine, just the installation tools (specifically, Intelligent Provision aka "IP") was damaged in some way. 

The steps required to fix the error involve reinstalling an updated IP, and are largely found in this document:

Basically, go find the latest IP iso (at the time of this writing: this link is the latest), make a usb flash drive using the HPE disk utility (this link works) and boot from USB using the guides instructions. We ran into 1 error not mentioned in the document: something about NVRAM corruption. I followed this guide, answer #3. After installing everything on the USB drive, I rebooted, pressed the F button to get into IP, and was able to configure the machine flawlessly from there.
