Hello folks, my name is Andrew and i am a happy FreeNas user for mor than 2 years.
I currently have 4 HP Microserver Gen 8 each with 5 HDD's wich provide me storege to my 3 HP DL 380G6 Server by 4GBS FC.
All is fine, this month i will replace the 4 Microservers with 1 box because i want more IOPS, and i will put all of my hdd's in 1 server.
Now the problem is that i wanted to do the same at my work, but i want t use what we have, and we have a HP ProLiant SE326M1. ( actualy we have 3, the other 2 are a file server and backup server running MS 2012 R2 )
It is a nice server it has 64 GB DDR3 ECC R, 6 x 2 TB SEGATE HDD and 8 x 1TB SGATE HDD, 2 x XEON L5630 CPU's and 2 x 750 watt power suply.

So far so good, but here comes trubbel, HP have their P410 integrated on-board and that does not know JBOD.
I had a DELL H200 around, flash it to IT mode and surprise, it does not see my HDD's, in BIOS i can see the HP SHELF/BACKPLANE, but not the drives atached to it.
I GOOGLE'd for 3 days and found almost no information about connecting a HP SHELF/BACKPLANE to anything alse than a HP raid Card.
A also have FSC D2616 SAS RAID CARD wich is LSI SAS2108, but that model does not have IT firmware, and in the web-bios i didn't find a JBOD setting, but with this card i can see the HP SHELF/BACKPLANE and the drives.
I found some info on google that LSI 2008 chipset ( my Dell H200 ) can have up to 64 drives.
Question is, had enybody try to connect a HP SHELF/BACKPLANE to anything alse than a HP raid card and make it work in jbod?

I know that everybody will say buy Supermicro, but here in Romania, Supermicro is VERY RARE, and new it is very expensive, almost i can buy a netapp.
If i can manage to see all the 24 HDD's on this sistem it woud be perfect, because i could use all 3 of them.
