Proliant DL120G7 - RAID Controller License ?

Just encountered the "Manage License" option in the Raid controller bios.

What is this for ?

What features do i get when entering a license and what licenses are available ?

 

And a bit off topic, the spell checker does not know the word/name "Proliant" ?

Shame ... ;)

hi,

 

if you are talking about the onboard B110i controller - you can buy a Hot Plug Advance Pack License .

 

"

 

The HP Smart Array Hot Plug Advanced Pack for B110i provides the raid support for the embedded SATA controller. The Hot Plug Advance kit is a License to enable the RAID support on Hot Plug models. It supports up to six 3G SATA hard disk drives. It will support a maximum of two (2) logical drives. It supports Raid 0, 1 and 1+0.

Hi and thx for the info's.

@PGTRI
I'm not sure if your answer means (additional) hot plug controllers or hot plug hdds ?
But if hdd is meant, then without the license the controller would not support hot plugging of defective hdds ?

@Suman_AN
These additional features sound "reasonable", thanks for the info's and links.

correct

 

The B110i (onboard controller) does not support hot plug hard drives without license.
