Hello,
I would like to use a HP DL380p Gen 8 Server with two Smart Array Controller P420i for an TrueNAS Core instance. My hardware knowledge is little outdated. I would like to use ZFS as pool storage. That's my question. How to do that correctly?
What I've done:
Edit:
My current research output is:
Set HBA mode off (https://systemausfall.org/wikis/howto/Disable HP Proliant Hardware-RAID)
-> booting from attached disks won't be possible
-> then I'll have to use another boot medium as SD / USB (not really a good way)
Thanks a lot :)

What I've done:
- configure two SAS drives in Smart Array Controller P420i settings in RAID 1
- TrueNAS installation on that array
- configure all SAS drives in Smart Array Controller P420i separately one by one as RAID 0. Then theses drives appears in TrueNAS Storage menu. Creating a pool e.g. with two of them as ZFS mirror.
