Hp Smart Array P600 Controller cannot start error code 10
Hello All,
I have an hp dl380 g4 with the p600 controller on one of the pci e slots. The purpose of us installing this controller is to connect an external Hp Storage LTO backup tape drive via SAS instead of using the scsi.
I downloaded and installed the drivers. After downloading and installing the drivers for the controller, devmgmt shows an exclamation mark and device cannot start error code 10 message in the properties. I tried to reinstall, move to different bus...most of the 101's.
event viewer shows even id 11: the driver detected a controller error on \device\raidport1.
event id 11 the driver detected a controller error on.
Also during server start up the scsi raid controller initializes but the p600 conroller stays initializing untill it finally fails.
Is there a specific set of instructions I should be following to install this SAS adatper for my external LTO tape drive?
Please help soonest
Thanks and regards

Thanks for the prompt reply. Well noted. Looks like I need to buy new hardware. Good thing we didn't spend too much on this raid controller..
Yes you are correct I do have pci x and not pci e..my mistake.
Which riser will I need?
I do not have any other cards. This is my MS Exchange box and the only card we plan to install is for the external tape drive

Note that "NOTE: Not Supported on SAS models." is referring to those with SAS disks because they have a P600 running the disks so you can ignore that.
Yikes, people are asking for silly money for one, more than the server is worth! I think you'll have to find a thir party PCI-X SAS HBA. http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/LSISAS3801X.aspx would do.

So if i purchase PCI-X SAS HBA. http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/LSISAS3801X.aspx, I won't need the riser card since it's pci x?
but if i purchase the HP SC44Ge Host Bus Adapter 416096-B21 i am forced to purchase the PCI Express Riser Cage Option Kit 354675-B21
So purchasing the LSI card would be a more cost effective solution?

Yes, the LSI or another PCI-X HBA is going to be a lot cheaper.
I've picked up LSI PCI-X SAS cards used for $25 - $50 on eBay before. This is all you need.
