Hi Michelle,
don't know about the G10+ boxes. I meant:
https://buy.hpe.com/uk/en/servers/proliant-microserver/proliant-microserver/proliant-microserver/hpe-proliant-microserver-gen10/p/1009955118
and with that issue of 2 ports 6G and 2 ports 3G I rather looked into
boxes from other manufacturers than HP to recomend them to customers.
With the older Gen10 boxes one needs .NET for a console via the build
in system controler, even if you purchase the advanced license. Since
there is no windows in the net at all, I set them up on a KVM server
and never bought any boxes fom HP because of this rather flimsy design
(no console via systemcontroller, 6G/3G sata ports)
But if I have to choose between OI and FreeBSD and what experiences
running OI as a server OS on those boxes, I go for OI and that was
the original discussion

Quoting Michelle <miche...@msknight.com>:
The target server is actually going to be the Gen 10 Plus...

The specs are light on the exact specs of the speed, but the manual
doesn't help either...

The best they say is... "The embedded HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10
Controller supports SATA drive installation. This controller supports
RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10" ... and it would be a bit odd for them to
support RAID levels like that and have two ports down to 3Gbs.
Grateful for any insight.
Michelle.

Hi
it depends a bit on the BIOS version of the Gen 10. With the early
version
it works best, pulling all disks out of the bays, do the install,
reboot, halt
again, put the drives back in, repower and boot, then do the disk
configs.
With my Gen 10, I put a 4i4o SAS-controler in it, plug the sas-plug
of the
internal drive bays on the i-cnector of that additional 4i4o sas card
and
connect SSDs with a fan out cable to the on board sas connector. With
a bit of soldering an additional power connector for the SSDs is
simply
set up an the OS goes on those SSDs. Hence, the Gen10 supports only
2 diskbays with 6G througput and the other two bays only support 3G.
