HP ProLiant ML350 G5 Not Detecting Hardware RAID

#1 Post by BolliFiresmith »

Good morning, I have been trying to get Debian 11 installed on my old HP ProLiant server that has been sitting idle in my basement and I have hitting a brick wall.

I am using a USB Stick to do the installation from, as the CD Drive is toast on the unit. When it gets to the drive selection, the RAID 1+0 array is not showing up and I only get the option to install to the USB Stick. I have all the default hardware in the system.

Is there any quick fix for this?

I have attempted to recreate the RAID array mutliple times, and it is not looking like that is the issue, as I can install other operating systems like Windows on it without an issue.

I have one of these servers and was able to install Debian 9. 10 as you say doesn't seem to find the raid controller. I have not tried 11.

Did support for this raid controller get removed from newer versions than 9?

Most likely because the proprietary software raids are not handled by default by Debian - but there's a dmraid driver which usually works.
However, I would rather disable the raid mode in bios and use the native Linux md-raid, because it's simply way better in terms of performance.
