I know this is a bit old now so hope you still read the comments.. I've got got this server, but I've given up on using Windows as the OS. I've been testing various flavours of Linux, and can get almost everything working, but the one thing I really want to do is use a bare metal Hypervisor like Citrix Xenserver, or ProxMox (or even vSphere) to create a local mini datacenter into which I can spin up virtual machines. The biggest pain when using any of these hypervisors in the context of the HP server has been the forced software raid in the embedded slot, and swapping this out to a proper raid controller seems like it might solve the problem. I really don't want to use ZFS because of the cost (both in terms of storage redundancy as well as financially), and am very keen to use raid1. I was fixated on the entire video until the very end, when I saw you booted up into Windows Server 2012. So the question I'd love to know the answer to.. does my cranky old HP Proliant Gen8 Microserver need to boot into Windows as the OS when using that controller, or does the card operate independently to the OS so that I can continue with my complete divorce from Windows Server 2012-R2?

The Raid Card operates independently.

You should really consider UnRaid on this machine. I moved from WS2012 and never looked back, its fantastic. Not even needed to load iLO up in months. Just to add too, with cost wise using ZFS, you can add drives as you go along, unlike FreeNAS.

If you have a smaller old sata ssd you could use it as a cache drive from the spare connection.

If you mean the SSD drive you see in the video setup, I do not think so. However you can try.

Why not use the 5th SATA port with blue color if it's just about adding the 5th disk? Seems a bit overkill to use 8 ports SAS/SATA controller for this. If one needs more than 5 disks, then i understand addition of the controller. This board has internal USB + sdcard reader so i'd have installed the OS on either of them to save disk 'bays' :)

The 5th port (blue SATA) method does not work as I tried it myself. I done the theory video to try it out before I made this video. Otherwise I would not need a Array Card. kzitem.info/news/bejne/w6Vs0p-san-hoag Also I do not want to boot from a USB. If you want to boot from the USB that is up to you.

I also did it with the DVD SATA port. You have to create a "RAID" drive the only consists out of the one device you connected.

@Debug IT Solutions, mine works but most of the time when I shut my server down for updates, the RAID freaks out and tells me that the 5th port has no RAID on it. I have to keep going back into Intelligent Provisioning and re-enable the RAID on the 5 port. Very frustrating.

Hi Sam, is this RAID enabling procedure described somewhere? i can't found the option in Intelligent Provisioning i can't configure raid array at all ... i'd like to avoid buying SATA controller.. @Anchan Tech, any ideas why i didn't work for you as well?

Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Can you please also explain if there is a way to later upgrade the capacity of the drives? Is it possible to replace them one by one from 3TB to 6TB?

Radu Poenaru - You can. So far, you can replace with 4TB per slot.

I currently run xpenology on my g1610t with just 4 drives. I read on a forum someone used 3 gen7 microservers and got it to run where it used the other 2 microservers as expansions, so they had a 12 bay NAS. Will using this help me to do something similar with my g1610t?

If so how do I do it, and how do I make it so that the main unit is powered, and the second unit powers it's hard drives and the third's drives only (seeing as the main is the only one which requires an OS so the other 2 just need powering hdds)

Let me get this straight there are no sata ports on this mother board? If so could you just use the sata out of the caddy, if there is one, install the nas software on it, then add the drives and create your raid array?...

There is 1 SATA port. I did try and boot Windows on Caddy instead but it does not work with the 4 SATA bays intact. I have to disconnect the 4 Drives to get it working which is not good when I need the SSD as OS and the 4 slots for my NAS.

I am curious does the add-on raid card make the 4 drive bays hot-plug capable?
@AnChanTech

It is not hot-plug as the Microserver do not have the ability to do so. I wish it does as it will be good.

You can. But remember that the Gen8 MicroServer is not a Hot-Plug so it is not worth putting Hot-Plug Hard Drive if the Hardware if is not Hot-Plug.

Does "IBM LSI ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA PCIe RAID Controller" controls hard drive from the front(4x), or only SSD? And does IBM LSI support JBOD?
