I install also on a spare drive connected on the main board but still didn't see the HP Array Controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted March 11, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) @usus The HP P400 is a SAS Raid controller if I'm not wrong. how is the drives configured? You might need to configure them as single drives, preferably AHCI (if possible). Found something related here Quote The P400 does not pass unassigned disks to the OS. You need to create RAID-0 configs to get the disks through to the OS. Saving the RAID-0 config (or any other P400 config) will empty the disk(s).

I have done lot of tests in this time. Now I read about XPEnology and i want to migrate but with minimum of shutdown time. I will not reconfigure until i do not have a solution. And sorry for the mistake but is a HP smart array P410 controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearcat Posted March 11, 2019 Share #7 Posted March 11, 2019 @usus Would that be the HP smart array P410i ? What is the rest of your HW setup, and what OS are you currently using? If, and I say IF, you want to try any of the "extras" out, make sure you have a full backup set Same thing goes for you current Raid1, assuming it is a HW raid you will not be able to "import" the raidset into DSM. With XPEnology/DSM, you will be using software raid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearcat Posted March 11, 2019 Share #9 Posted March 11, 2019 LOL Somehow I read it, but I did not "see it"... But, I think that for you to be able to see the drives in DSM, you might have to set them up as single drives in Raid-0. If you have a spare drive, with no needed info on it, you could wipe it, and create a single drive Raid-0 on it, and try to install DSM. (this is to be done after you have disconnected all your other drives for security reasons). btw: if you replace your P410 with a 2 or 4 port "standard" SATA controller, with native support, your problems would be over I have a Q1900-ITX running myself, with an added 2port SATA controller in a microPCIe slot, giving me a total of 6 ports.

I was thinking to this but firs i try to use hardware that i have. 4 port sata adapter are not so cheap.(same price like a second hand raid controller) Can you tel me what model are u using? 23 hours ago, usus said: I just found Hope is working.

sbv3000 Posted March 13, 2019 Share #11 Posted March 13, 2019 any of the 'cheap' 4 port controllers from syba (based on marvell chipset) work ok without extra drivers. I'm using one in a 6 hdd system j3455 (2 on board + 4 syba) as my production box, work fine and stable with 6.1 and 6.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I have the Q1900-ITX, I have 4 on-board ports, but I added a microscopic 2 port Delock 95260, as can be seen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usus Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share #13 Posted March 27, 2019 Anyone use this type of controller? Does support HDD with capacity bigger that 2 TB? https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-ServeRaid-M1015-46M0861-SAS-SATA-PCI-e-RAID-Controller-LSI-SAS9220-8i/192161107657?epid=1411741423&hash=item2cbdb1cec9:g:RYoAAOSwtZJY9JN5&frcectupt=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
