Got an old HP box with a P800 Smart Array controller. The HP RAID box plugged into it's failing, and we got a new JetStor. Anyone know if we can just plug the JetStor in and set it to passthrough, or if we have to use the P800's firmware to set up the RAID, or other gotchas?
I*think* we could use the RAID boxes firmware to build the RAID, but last resort would be passthrough, and Linux RAID.
I'm not familiar with JetStor, but a P800 is a older high end SAS raid
JetStor, from AC&NC, is a *real* nice solid line of RAID appliances... and esp. when you get to the bigger ones, runs half or a third the price that NetApp, HP, or Dell RAID boxes run, literally. Really reliable hardware - we've got some that have been running for well over six years with no troubles (other than an occasional dead drive). (No, I'm not getting any kickbacks from them - I really like their hardware.)
controller that expects to talk to individual SAS or SATA drives. you can manage it with hpssacli from centos.
I have the P822. It has no JBOD or RAID 0. hpacucli works with CentOS 7.0, but is broken on 7.1 -- it cannot find the controller.
Can it do RAID 6?
