Why is the disks/raid controller not visible on the HP server?

Question

RAID

Hello everyone, experience with servers is minimal, can someone tell me something. There is an hp proliant dl365 g5 server on hand, according to the words there were two SASs, they were removed, two Samsung ssds were installed. And so I run it to set up the ride and I can't get into ORCA. and connected the usual hdd with Windows. I watched the video and noticed that the video is first initializing the disks, but I just seem to jump over this step. At the end it gives
Non-System disk or disk error
replace and strike any key when ready
PXE-E61: Media test failure, chek cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM

Answer 1

There may be options.
Try to start by hitting the controller config - I think you need to press F8 for your server.
To be sure - look at the manual or find out from those who told about old disks. What you see inside should give you food for thought.
Also, are you sure that such an upgrade is possible without updating the controller firmware, or at all?
By "in general" I mean a situation where the drive options to use are limited to a list of part numbers (most often with proprietary firmware).

You just hang out the disks as you like, and then you are surprised that it does not start itself)
1. When the server starts, the BIOS is initialized, then silt and then HP Array (it seems to be this order
) create the necessary raid 0 or raid1 (the inconvenience is that the iLO setting also reacts to F8, which is actually not what we need).
I updated to the latest service pack, 2013-2014 (specify which last one is supported, again, I don’t remember now) and the ssd drives normally stand up on the native p400i controller.
A boot order is placed in the same controller. In fact, the boot order is first written in the BIOS - which controller is the first to load, and then in the controller which disk under its slave is loaded.
Another thing, they say that the controller does not know how to work normally with them and cuts the speed of sata disks by 1.5 G. It is recommended to install an additional P410 controller that already works with sata with 3G. On Ali now it costs 1300 instead of with a 512 MB cache and a supercapacitor.
Specifically, with regards to Samsung disks, you need to read carefully here, I remember that the Samsung 850 series (or another, check in the back of the Internet) was officially removed from Linux support by the system, since the firmware of the ssd disk controller contained bugs and infa was damaged one day. In the 860 series, this has already been taken into account and everything is fine there.
Well, do not forget to leave 20% of the size for the provision in order to somehow extend the life of your ssd.
