Hi guys, I'm new, from the forum, from proxmox and also from Linux.
I have seen several videos on installing and using proxmox.
I ask how you solve this.
HP ML30 Gen10 server with Raid Hardware and 3 HD Sata.
From the internet I have not found information on how to configure this server with Raid5.

Sorry for my english I'm italian.
 
That highly depends on the RAID controller how you could do that.
Typically there is an option in the BIOS (newer servers) or a separate ROM on boot you can enter to cobfigre a raid.

Try find out what exact hardware controller you have and grab a manual from the www.

Another option (if the controller supports pass through - which typically needs to be setup in the raid controller as well) is to create a Linux based raid, either via mdadm or ZFS.
 
You are kind and I appreciate the information you have given me.
On HP I have RAID HPE Smart Array S100i.
With this controller I can create Raid5, I have 3 hard drives of 1 Tb Sata.
So can I now install proxmox on this RAID5?
Do you have a guide that I can consider?
Thank you.

Yes sure you can install Proxmox on that.
Raid 5 does not provide best random IO performance but if it is sufficient for your use-case...
 
Thanks again,
I tried to install proxmox but it probably doesn't detect the server's internal controller.
Can you tell me how to solve?
Why do you say it doesn't provide the best performance?
