HP H221 HBA with P2000 trouble configuring
Good Afternoon,
I am working on configuring a new environment with two DL380 Servers with H221 HBA cards and a P2000 with Two SAS controllers. I am planniong to use VMWare vSphere HA.
I am not finding anywhere in the LSI Configuration utility to configure the arrays. I want to configure (1) RAID 50 array. I did find the P2000's Storage Management Utility and I was able to use it to create a vdisk using RAID 50, but I can't seem to get VMWare to see or use it.

The P2000 is also listed in its dual SAS flavour on VMware's site.
Line up the firmware as indicated, set up your arrays in the P2000's web management portal, configure the LUNs for LUN Sharing, then attach the SAS IDs belonging to the H221 HBAs to the LUNs. This is a rough guide based on our working with the IBM DS3524, Dell MD3200 dual SAS, and Promise vTrak series smart shelves. We've not worked directly with the HP units.
