Hi there...
I tried to install the Proxmox on an HP DL580 Gen7 server with an HP H220 HBA card without success.
I have 8 SSHD Firecuda 2.5" of 2Tb each ST2000LX001 1RG1
The server has 64GB of ECC RAM, INTEL processors, a SmartArray P410i card with 512MB of memory and built-in backup battery and I have purchased an HP HBA H220.
The server comes with a Smart Array P410i card, on which I can install and run Proxmox without problems, i did it days ago, but I want to avoid installing the Proxmox on the P410i, for which I bought the HP HBA H220 based on LSI 2308 (9207-8 although in the decal of the card figure 9205-8i)
I have followed several instructions in various topics regarding the BIOS settings, versions, firmware of the HBA card and others unsuccessfully..
I have already tried the following:
DL580 with firmware BIOS 2015 and with BIOS 2011, it does not matter, same error.
HBA H220 with firmware of LSI 2308 20.0.0.7 and 19.0.0.0 same error (they come with different versions of NVDATA and ROM).
HBA H220 with HP firmware 15.10.10.0, and 13.10.53 same error
HBA H220 with Broadcom firmware 20.0.0.7 same error
(the only thing I can emphasize is that the only mptsas2.rom that allows me to open the configuration of the HBA card without errors is the one in the HP firmware 15.10.10.0, the others give error "PCI fatal error" when i try CTRL C to open the configuration utility)
Proxmox ISO 4.4 and ISO 5.1-3 with the same error (i did not try the 5.0)
I have also tried installing on SAS HP HDD and it has also given me errors saying that they are not valid block devices.
Therefore one would think that the H220 card has problems and does not work, but...
I can install and run Windows 10 without problems on the H220, runs several diagnostic software and CrystalDiskMark gives very good results. I can also install and run Windows Server 2016 without problems. Only FreeNas and Proxmox fail...
I can start the installation until IP and Domain configuration, then when the install try to format the HDD i got this error "No such device or address" after I/O error, then it show error on partition HDD in the installation...
Randomly something like "rejecting I/O to offline devices" before installation start, after select Install Proxmox VE in the first screen, and then i cant select that hdd, they are not present, but this is rare...
Some idea ? i really want to use HBA with Proxmox, and not the P410i HW Array...
im stuck...
