This question already has an answer here:

I've bought a N54L and fitted two 3GB drives. Keen to get set up with RAID1.

  • BIOS: SATA controller mode set to "RAID"
  • RAID Option ROM utility: both physical drives set up as one logical drive

When I came to install Ubuntu (14.04.1), both drives appeared during the setup process. I was only expecting to see the logical drive, although I'm a complete novice with RAID.

I've read that the HP Proliant Microservers don't have "proper" RAID support, and require some kind of driver to be installed. I've tried a few HP utilities from the following apt repo:

deb http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/repo/mcp wheezy/current non-free

On installation, most say "server not supported"

Would appreciate your advice.
