HP Smart Array controller B320i Proliant dl380e gen8 for proxmox

[victornavelino]

Hello People .. I recognize Rigid disks during installation of Proxmox see 2.3, .. the problem is I can not find a driver for the smart array controller dynamic hp b320i on any side to install a debian and then Proxmox ... someone could fix this?


The server is a HP proliant dl380e Gen8, from the web hp give support single windows, redhat, suse and vmware
regards

HP does support Debian, but it is really hidden:

Read 'Getting started'

Hello,
the Proxmox 3.0 doesn’t detect correctly the Smart Array D320i /dev/sda , it said 256Mo, as it should 300Go, so the partitioning failed
i duno how to manage this situation
i think the information Getting started is for the post install configuration ?
thank's

update :
the /dev/sda in this case is the read only flashcard (256Mo)

i have succeed to install… a CentOS 6.4 ;(
with raid setup with help of external driver disk

the driver disk contain a rpm kmod-hpvsa-1.2.6-13.rhel6u4.x86_64.rpm witch contain also a kernel extention hpvsa.ko and
also there is a config /etc/depmod.d/hpvsa.conf that contain :
override hpvsa 2.6.32-* weak-updates/hpvsa

it has modified /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64.img for including the kernel extention hpvsa.ko

does the hpvsa.ko should be installed in the proxmox kernel ?

is there any // setup for debian ?
