Problems running RAID Controller P420 on Linux Ubuntu 20.04
Hello.
Adding this repo to my Ubuntu 20.04 desktop:
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hpe.list
deb http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp bionic/current non-free
could install ssa, ssacli and ssaducli tools in my system.
Now I can see the 8 4TB disks connected:
# ssacli ctrl all show config
Smart Array P420 in Slot 4 (sn: PDSXK0BRH5W034)
HP SAS Expander Card at Port 1I, Box 1, OK
Port Name: 1I
Port Name: 2I
Unassigned
physicaldrive 1I:1:0 (port 1I:box 1:bay 0, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:0 (port 1I:box 1:bay 0, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:0 (port 1I:box 1:bay 0, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:0 (port 1I:box 1:bay 0, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:0 (port 1I:box 1:bay 0, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:0 (port 1I:box 1:bay 0, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:0 (port 1I:box 1:bay 0, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:0 (port 1I:box 1:bay 0, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
Expander 380 (WWID: 500143801174B426, Port: 1I, Box: 1)
HP SAS Expander Card SEP 378 (WWID: 500143801174B425, Port: 1I, Box: 1)
SEP (Vendor ID PMCSIERA, Model SRCv8x6G) 379 (WWID: 5001438028F5637F)
But all of them appear exactly with same physicaldrive "1I:1:0".
I was able to mount a RAID0 with a single disk, using this command:
# ssacli ctrl slot=4 create type=ld drives=1I:1:0 raid=0
Now I can see a /dev/sda device:
# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
259 0 250059096 nvme2n1
259 1 524288 nvme2n1p1
259 2 249533440 nvme2n1p2
259 3 976762584 nvme0n1
259 4 976761543 nvme0n1p1
259 5 976762584 nvme1n1
259 6 976761543 nvme1n1p1
8 0 3906985816 sda
But If I try to do the same with other different physicaldrives, is simply dont work:
# ssacli ctrl slot=4 create type=ld drives=1I:1:1 raid=0
Error: Cannot create/modify the array. Cannot select physical drive 1I:1:1
Maybe is something related with a missing firmware, so I downloaded this file:
