ML110 G7 + Debian + SAS disk recognizing problem

[schogol]

I have an old ML110 G7 server without array hardware and I want to install a debian 11 on it, using SAS-disks, but the disks are not recognized.

Even when booting into another, older installation for this server on 2 SATA-disks with Debian 10 on a software raid 1,  it does not recognize the SAS neither.

In the ML110 G7 specs it says that SATA and SAS disks are both usable/recognized.

What do I miss?

Hi,

As per the QuickSpecs, which is pretty old.  Page# 3 and 20.

HP Embedded Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller (RAID 0/1/10)
NOTE: Supports up to four (4) 3.0Gb/s SATA hard disk drives only

SAS Controllers
NOTE: Support for SAS hard drives/tape drive requires selection of a SAS controller.

Thank You!

Thank you,  Suman_1978. Although I do not have a hardware array controller, there might be an embedded one. Maybe I can do something by repluging cables inside the server. I'll try that!

Thanks again

@Suman_1978 

no luck by now, I did not find out how to disable or bypass an embedded RAID controller

Hi,

As per the QuickSpecs above in this post, the embedded controller only supports SATA drives.
For SAS drives, a new SAS Controller, SAS cables, drive cage/backplance is required.

If you need help in Cabling, please see page# 69 onwards.

Thank You!
