Hi,
I always used to use Home Server Show whenever I had issues, but that site seems to have gone unfortunately. So thought I’d try here.
I’ve just upgraded from a Microserver Gen 8 to a Gen 10 Plus and was hoping I could take my P420 across and save the cost of a new raid card.
Putting the server in legacy boot comes up with the P420 initialisation for a couple minutes, then it fails and refuses to boot. I also dont appear to have any way of booting into the raid configuration utility to see what’s happening.
My question is, is there any way of making the P420 work with the Gen 10 Plus and have the ability to configure the raid, or am I going to have to upgrade to a newer raid card, such as the E208i-p or p408i-p.
If I do have to upgrade, will it be a simple in place upgrade, or am I going to have to recreate the array and restore all the data?
I have also had issues with Microservers and even HP PCI cards. Can you in BIOS disable firmware on the PCI slot? Dont remember if the microserver bios have that feature.
