Hi folks,
i got a DL360 server with HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 installed on it.
my target is to put the server's HDDs and SDDs under HBA mode(not RAID, just present to OS directly) so that the VMware ESXi and VSAN can use it without issues.
note that the server is new and i just installed to the rack and all the settings (including controller)are default.
i did some googling and found this: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00019059en_us
it mentioned that "Any drive that is not a member of a logical drive or assigned as a spare is presented to the operating system. This modeoccurs by default without any user intervention and cannot be disabled. Logical drives are also presented to the operatingsystem."
so, is my question solved if the controller stays in "mix mode" while all the disks are new without any configuration?
i'm not familiar with hpe storage controller,if anyone can help clarify this please.
thanks in advance!!
