HP Proliant Server Bios Raid 10 , Raid 1 oder Raid 0 was only avaible

[Cheyenne123]

Hello everyone,

We purchased a new server (Proliant 380 Gen 10) with 6 local SSD hard drives. I wanted to have the disks set up with Raid 5 but unfortunately I couldn't. In the bios I only see the 3 options. Can someone please tell me why? or does the raid controller only support the 3 variants (raid 0,1, 10)? Thanks in advance for the answers.

Best Regards

Hi,

Please use Intelligent Provisioning to configure RAID.
Also check if all the SSD's are detected.  Check cabling.

Thank You!

Normally the suggested RAID levels depend on the number of drives you have. Do you see all six SSD's and did you select them all?
The other question is what Smart Array controller you have... some "entry level" models (cheap models) need an additional license to use anything better that 0 or 1 or 10.

OK... they call it "essential" and "performance"...
