Hello!
I have an ML350 G6 with an embedded P410i ZM array controller. I have one array of two 450GB 15K SAS drives. When I bought it, Ingram Micro's HP support told me that cache is not needed for a RAID 1 array.
I want to add a cache module and change to RAID 10. The "HP 1G Flash Backed Cache 534562-B21" module was listed as an option, so I bought one and installed it. When it boots, the controller does not see the drive array and tries to boot from CDROM, USB, PXE, and fails to boot.
I pulled the cache module and rebooted fine. I am copying all VMs off of the array onto a USB backup drive, and I will image the OS installed on the array in case everything goes belly up.
I cannot find the proper procedure for adding a FBWC module to this server. Is there a special procedure? I don't even see any array controller messages during bootup.
What am I missing?
Thank you for your help!
Gregg
