Hello,
I have a Proliant DL380 G7 with dual CPU (x5690) and HP P410i smart raid controller.
The controller does not support HBA / JBOD so I initialized the disks all as a single volume. I have the following drives available:
- 1 SSD 120 GB for ZFS caching
- 3 78 GB 15K SAS drives planned for the root system in raidz-1
- 4 300 GB 15K SAS drives planned for ZFS storage raidz-2
I installed the system and used the 78GB disks in raidz-1 during install.
After the first reboot I get the message, from GRUB I guess, that it is missing devices in multi-device environment. and the server is going into GRUB recovery.
From there I do not see the disks, there are just a 2 hd and 2 fd's shown. So Grub does not find the disks from the root zfs storage in raidz-1.
I do not want to use the hardware raid together with zfs due to performance and loss of zfs futures.
Why?
How do I fix this problem?
Thanks for any advice!
