HBA mode looks supported on P410i (at least to some degree) because: *) There is an official method to enable/disable it on these controllers. Only for itanium-based servers unfortunately. *) This method is mentioned in various documents from HP regarding Integrity servers. *) Controller reacts on the change of corresponging bit in nvram_flags by immediately removing any configured RAID arrays and by refusing to configure new arrays. Which is totally expected for HBA mode. *) HBA mode works for me on P410i with patched driver.
