MR216i-p and new ML110 gen11

[cdcirexx]

Hello, 

I have a new ml110 gen11 server that I added a MR216i-p card, and it's the model that doesn't have cache, from what I read that won't do raid 5 or 10 because it's missing the cache, am I stuck with just raid 0 and 1 now, cause those are the only options showing up in MRSA when trying to configure the storage, or am I missing a configuration in the bios somewhere?

thanks in advanced.

Hi,

If you see the QuickSpecs for ML110 Gen11 and MR216i-p, it supports RAID 0/1/10

HPE MR216i-p Gen11 x16 Lanes without Cache PCI SPDM Plug-in Storage Controller
Notes: This controller supports up to 16 SAS/SATA/NVMe Drives with RAID 0/1/10

Hello,

thanks for the reply, I opened a ticket on this as well, I didn't realize the limitations of the card for raid levels and since I was shooting for raid 5 with 3 drives it won't work, I guess I can buy one more drive and make it raid 10. A bit frustrated with this project as its taking longer than usual to get up and running.
