I have the P440ar connected to the expanders on the front of the system, and Im trying to boot RHEL 6.5 off the P840. Keep this HP Smart Array controller users guide handy. Working on a ProLiant D元80 gen9 server (SFF) with a P440ar controller (FW ver 3.00) in slot 0 (embedded RAID) and a P840 controller (FW ver 2.52) in slot 1. Let the controller discover the new array. Use the HP Smart Storage Utilities for Linux to modify the RAID configuration within the host OS.


Then boot with your old drives and see if theyre detected. Installing a new drive and preparing it for use in the system can be accomplished in one of two ways: Insert the drive and reboot the host into the Smart Storage Utility where you can configure the drive. Then boot with your old drives and see if they're detected. the HPE Smart Array Controller and Smart Host Bus Adapter in simple RAID mode) is a simple, secure, key-based, local and remote encryption solution that protects data at rest. Go into the BIOS or DL180 setup disk Array Config and delete the RAID 1+0 array. Go into the BIOS or DL180 setup disk Array Config and delete the RAID 1+0 array. When you brought up the system with your old drives, you should have again deleted the new data logical drive either in the BIOS raid utility or with the Smartstart/DL180 Setup Array Configuration utility and let the controller detect the array/logical drive. When you went to step #3 in the first drive replacement process Boot up the server and acknowledge errors about failed drives, did you DELETE the removed array/logical drive or just mark it as failed? That's probably the source of the problem here. The removed drives still have the RAID metadata on them.
