Proliant DL20Gen9 SmartArray RAID Configuration

filos · ‎02-08-2018

Hello,

I have problem on RAID 1 configuration on my new Proliant DL20Gen9 but it shows only RAID 0 in array options. I have two HP Sata 6Gb Tb hotswap disks.

Help me please.

Regads.

Hi,

Does the controller card detects two disks?

Kind Regards,

Yes it detects two disks but the only array drive configuration I can choose is RAID 0!

Hello .

Are you trying to configure the RAID using smart storage administrator?

Please upload a screnshot.

Yes, in smart storage administrator when the disks are in bay 1 & 2 the only array option I can choose is Raid 0!

I think is a controller firmare bug because when I moved the second disk from bay 2 on bay 3 magically I can set Array to Raid 1!

Problem solved by myself before the call from official HP support!

Finally I re-moved the second disk from bay 3 to bay 2 and the array is still working!

That's all.

Bye.
