HP MS Gen8 with HP smart RAID B120i. without controler licence
Hi,
I have "new" HP MS Gen8 with HP smart RAID B120i. CPU G1610T, factory date cca 2016(?)
I cant use FREENAS with software raid (as on my old BlackCube) because my G8 colect my HDDs to RAID at all AHCI BIOS/Setup configurations
Whan I try use F5 to disable RAID, HP app Smart Store Administrator show me message:
"No licenses found on the selected controller."
viz pictures
HP Smart Store Administrator show me "0 Physical drivers" (3x WD 4TB + 1x WD 3TB, all HDD3,5" NAS ware 3.0)
and in Freenas I can see one "disk" 7,7TB ... :-(
I used directly connected LCD and keyboard for elininated iLO trouble.
Box is out of HP warranty.
q1: Do you have some idea about restore Raid Licence ?
q2: How eliminated Smart Raid function?
q3: Exist any HP or community firmware to convert B120i as only AHCI mode without Raid functions ?
Thanks
thanks for every useful advice
Josef

The B120i requires a closed source driver for the RAID function. From within RBSU, system configuration go to the controllers settings and change from B120i mode to SATA AHCI. Then you can use the software RAID functions within FreeNAS
