What is the process for adding an HBA Controller to Proxmox? I've read all the docs I could find and can't seem to figure it out.
My Setup: HP DL380p G8 with LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 9286-8e 8-Port 6Gb/s PCI-E 3.0 SATA+SAS RAID Controller and (2) NetApp DS4246 JBODs.
Proxmox will see any logical volumes I have created within the internal HP 420i controller and also no problem seeing the NVME I have in one of the PCIe slots. However when I go to Add the HBA as a PCI device, I see it in the list and can add it but the server will not start. It attempts to start and shuts down.
When I first startup the HP server itself, I can see in the post that the LSI card is seeing the drives in the JBOD. I have made sure there are no arrays configured and no boot device selected within the controller itself.
I have the node using q35 machine type since that is the one that supports PCI Express however it doesn't matter what selections I make when adding the device, the result is the same. Server starts and shuts right back down with this error:
I have immou enabled in /etc/default/grub
If I run # lshw -class disk -class storage I can see the controller:
What am I missing? I do not want the JBODs to be an array. I want the JBODs to be individual drives. How to get Proxmox to acknowledge the drives in the JBODs?
Thanks in advance for any help.
