Hello,
I have a Dell PowerEdge R730 with a PERC H730 Mini controler.
I have 2x300GB SAS Disk 10krpm + 8x2TB SSD Disks inserted into the server.
I switched the controler configuration from RAID to HBA Mode.
Then I started the installation of Proxmox VE 7.4-1.
During the installation, I've been able to create a RAID1 zfs pool with the 2x300GB SAS disks (/dev/sdba+/dev/sdb)
to install the system, and I was able to "see" the 8x2TB SSD Disks named /dev/sdbc, /dev/sdbd, etc.
but of course I didn't selected these disks for my RAID1 zfs pool.
Then I connected on the WebUI, and I wanted to create a zfs pool with the 8x2TB SSD Disks
but no disk are displayed! Into the create ZFS dialog box, it is indicated "No Disks unused".
I don't understand because during the Proxmox installation, the disks were seen,
and it was confirming that the HBA Mode was correctly activated for all the disks.
So where is the issue?
Thanks.
 
You may need to go <Node> --> <Disks> --> select sdc/d/e one at a time etc. --> "Wipe Disk"-Button to erase "officially" all old content.
