Compatible ssd

[metsven]

Hi,

I was not aware of compatibility issues with SSD, so I bought a new 1.92TB ssd (HPE p/n: 787178-003, Model: HSCP1920S5xnFMRI, HUSMR1619ASS205). It has firmware: 3P00

Are these compatible with the DL380P G8? I have proxmox installed and uses ubuntu 22.04 desktop. When I want to add the drive to Ubuntu, I see the drive in the shell when typing lsblk. But I can't passthrough.

Can I use it? Do I need to update the firmware first or is it not possible because these are for only the 3Par systems (storeserv)?

Thank you for the advice!

Greetings,

Sven

As far as I know, if it is a 3PAR drive, then it will not be compatible/supported on a ProLiant. Also, from what I've seen, a 3PAR drive will not have a "standard" number of bytes per sector format (ie: 512 bytes/sector). If it is possible to reformat the drive to a standard format (which was possible with spinning rust drives from older 3PAR systems), then it might be possible to get it to work on a ProLiant, but there won't be any firmware updates available, plus I'm not sure if I'd trust my data on it...

Thank you for your reply. Do not want to reformat the drive if I have no certainty it will work. It does say e520-Format on the label. If it's unusable, I will have to put it up for sale. Shame!
