ML110 G6 (raid?)

[Quint]

Went to install a ML110 G6 and found out it doesn't support raid, even though the bios has all the raid setup tools there, there is no on-board controller.

All of HP's documents refer to a HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller. And I guess you need some sort of licence as I saw that in the raid setup?

My question is, can any raid controller card be used, something along the lines of an Adaptec?

Well, I changed the harddrives to raid in the bios and after that I could get into the raid utility. I then setup the array etc but the HP disc doesn't detect any controller. So I'm guessing its up to date but it is that I have no controller.

I'll disable the raid as someone's ordered a controller.

Same issues as this chap it seems - http://www.experts-exchange.com/Storage/Storage_Technology/Q_25121908.html

for future ref.....

installed the hp smart array p212, don't forget to order the cables aswell because they aren't included. Disable any onboard/bios raid because its not needed.
