Dear OpenBSD users,
We have a new hp proliant dl 320e gen 8 server with 2 x 1TB Hard
disks. When we are going to install Open BSD 5.5 64 bit, Openbsd can't
detect These 2 Hard disks ( 2 x 1 TB)
These are 2 hard disks of 7.2 K SATA 1 TB
It asks which is the Hard disk with this sign "? '"
It does
That machine apparently ships with "Dynamic Smart Array B120i"
which has a vendor specific software RAID mode.
Looks like it only works on Linux with a closed source 'hpvsa' driver

See if you can switch it to a standard AHCI/SATA mode in the bios.

I switched to AHCI/SATA mode in BIOS. OpenBSD 5.5 64 bit Detected
BOTH HARD DISKS. So I installed it.
I now have 2 TB. On first disk, I partitioned /, swap , /usr and /var
on the other 1 TB hard disk, I ju

i.e - does NOT this server's Hardware Raid (Mirror) work under
OpenBSD? Will I have to go with Software RAID?

If so just not use the fake-raid, disable it, and use soft-raid from BSD.

If used soft-raid from BSD, does it consume more RAM or processing
functions etc?
I will have to use this server for PF , OpenVPN , Squid, Postfix or
Sendmail and Apache etc..

Soft RAID is nearly transparent, low cpu or ram use, it uses some cpu but as
you know 99% of time CPU just wait for bus...
PF+VPN+SQUID+POSTFIX+SENDMAIL+APACHE+PHP classical webapp/mail server ? I
guess ?
you may have enough memory with 4Gohigher memory is always better of
course...

Than a good RAID card? of course.
significantly more? probably not.
