Hello  @Klim_757 
Thank you for the post.

As P series controller has SAS/SATA interface , hence you would not be able to create raid for NVME.
The options are .
1. you can create Software Raid with NVME drives ( After OS is installed)
2. you can install MR controller.

please find below documents for your reference.
