IIRC, it has been a while: once I switched the P420i to HBA/JBOD mode, I think 
it only supports HBA? It just did not present any option to boot from it either 
in the controller or BIOS settings.

I think that has gotten better with the RAID controllers present in the G9 and 
later, but the P420i in the G8 (and G7?) are a bit horrible in that regard.

Hey Aron,

why didn´t you get this booting? What was the errror? Never had any booting 
problems with proxmox, despite the ZFS issues, which are described in the 
documentation, with quick and easy solutions

I personally still have one of those old boxes around.

Works fine but regarding the disks and RAID controllers you should be aware 
that in my experience, booting from any of the disks did not work when put into 
JBOD mode. I ended up putting in an HBA controller which also needed new SAS 
cables as the ones it shipped with have plugs that are angled at 90° making it 
impossible to plug 2 of them into the HBA.

Hey guys, I hope everybody is all right 😜

I’m seeking for an advice from the community on buying this server, HP ProLiant 
DL380p Gen8. Has someone installed Proxmox VE on it. I’m planning to install, 
in the beginning, an instance of Debian 10 and in it I’m planning to have the 
usual setting for an enterprise like a filesharing software, an ERP, web 
server, etc...

I’ve looked up something on DuckDuckGo, and find few things except this: 
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/help-installing-proxmox-on-hp-proliant-server-dl380e-g8.18522/.
 Does the issues described in the page still exist?

Appreciate your wisdom lol

Thanks for your great work

Sincerely,

Humberto Freitas
