Hardware compatibility HPE ProLiant DL380

[Tyr]

Hello everyone,

I have a server (HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 Intel Xeon-G 6526Y) that I believe should be compatible with Proxmox VE.
However, I am unsure about the following components:

• HPE SR932i-p Gen11 24G Tri-Mode Controller
• HPE NS204i-u Boot Controller

and I cannot find any information from the manufacturer itself, not even regarding Debian. For sure, there seem to be firmware available for x64 Linux.
The server is not for me, and I should be able to ensure the buyer with a high degree of certainty that the server is “Proxmox VE capable.”
Can anyone tell me whether Proxmox VE is compatible with this hardware?
What is your approach in this area if you are uncertain about hardware compatibility?
I am grateful for any information so that I can look it up myself in the future without being left in doubt.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

i cannot answer your specific question, but at https://ubuntu.com/certified/202302-31272 there is information that this server is certified with ubuntu. and proxmox is using ubuntu kernel

The HPE NS204i-u Boot Controller should just work because for the OS it's presented as a single PCIe NVMe SSD.

SR means it's Microchip, not Broadcom, in the Ubuntu HCL link from RolandK the Broadcom is listed.

Because HPE only offers drivers for RHEL and SLES i would only buy that RAID controller if you are absolutely sure this works with a vanilla linux kernel without any drivers, otherwise stick to MR RAID Controllers (Broadcom), they *should* be usable with a vanilla linux kernel without any additional drivers.
