ZFS for Smart array P440ar?

[killmasta93]

Hi,
I was wondering if someone else has any experience with a Smart array P440ar success story with ZFS? currently has Hyper V, but before i format need to know if it will work on HBA mode?
or would i need to buy an HBA card H240
Thank you

Please buy a HBA, a RAID controller flashed in IT-Mode is not the same. It will save you some headache later on.

Thanks for the reply, but out of curiosity would it be possible? to configure HBA mode?

Even if it is possible, don't, as point out above.

Best to contact your hardware vendor or HP directly, options are usually limited with all-in-one hardware manufacturers.
