I believe that you can get into RAID configuration page using Fx key same like you get into BIOS using F2 key.
In my case BIOS key was F11.
@Sady i will try right now ...
@Sady is possible to get I/Q speed only 8.5 mb /second for this controler ? because in my case is only 1 hdd , or is a bios update need ?
You don't want to disable it, just go into the Raid Configuration and setup the single disk as Raid0/JBOD.
if you have say 4 disks, setup 4 RAID0 volumes and keep working
That depends. If your disks are connected to the RAID controller directly you won't be able to disable it. You might also not be able to display disks as they are in the OS. Your option might be to create a RAID 1 of 1 drive... Multiple times.

Guys i have only ONE hdd !!!
Just setup as a single Raid0 within the HP Raid Controller, this should then create a virtual disk that can be seen by the OS>

strange method for disk benchmark. check http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/108838/how-can-i-benchmark-my-hdd
You can't disable it because the RAID controller is the only connection to the disks.
Which OS are you running, which RAID controller what brand of disk?
hello @MarkTurner and thanks , the controler is RAID P410i and hdd is a SATA III segate and i try to install proxmox and is take about 1 hour only to install
Can you give us the full output of the raid config, can use the Linux hp cli to complete this.
Out of curiosity, why do you need a RAID controller when you have just a single drive ?
HP DL360 G6 mostly have P410i, which is mean P410 are integrated into motherboard, so you can't disable it. Some version of p410 can switch from RAID mode to HBA mode.
The official solution for JBOB is to creating RAID0 with one hdd.
@Clouvider THIS IS THE PROBLEM I DONT NEED IT BUT ITS IMPOSIBLE TO DISABLE !!!!
@charlie i just do this and its take 1 hour to install proxmox and still 80 %
what kind of hdd are you have?
SATA III segate
Do you have physical access to this server or is that a dedi?
I'm not familiar with the design of this particular HP server but maybe you can remove the controller and connect the disk locally to motherboard? It might require different cables though.
PS: no need to shout, just trying to help. If you don't need me here I don't have to.
Ok, this should solve it (assuming Centos):
You'll need to set the right slot # on the next line:
You'll need to confirm Y to the above.
I assume this P410i doesn't have any cache or battery so writes are chronically slow.
None of them support this. HP P400/410/420 are RAID only
Wrong.
P400/P410 is RAID only - Create RAID0 per disk to use them as HBA.
P420/P440 can be set to HBA mode in hp cli:
controller slot=0 modify hbamode=on forced
If it's taking that wrong something is likely wrong with southbridge of the server.
On the unit using ipmi or kvm whatever you have. Watch the boot sequence you'll see an option to boot into said controller if it is installed in the pcie if not then boot to bios, from the bios menu. You need to find raid settings. You should be able to switch out of raid. If for some reason you can't. Switch it to JBOd. Just a bunch of disks. This will show any HDD as a regular one even like you said if you have one.
Now the slow io that's not good at all. If it's a new drive. Run the extended SMART. If it fails anything tell the HOST if it passes then tell the HOST its the mobo.
You can't do that on a P410 - It simply has no JBOD and HBA mode. I and gf spent days working on it, zero chance.
@MarkTurner many thanks for yesterday , finnaly i thinck i got the problem , chace memory was the problem
