I have taken out the old RAID card in my HP ProLiant SE326M1 server and replaced it with the LSI SAS 9211-8i HBA. I then installed Nexenta community edition onto three of the drives that are attached to the LSI card.
I have set the boot device to the LSI card however when I turn the server on it does not boot into Nexenta which was installed onto the card. Has anyone had problems similar to this?

The HP DL18x25SFF is LUN 0 and is the multiplexer. If the card can sees your drives you will probably have to set the boot drive as the boot drive in the advanced configuration on the card as normally the boot drive is LUN 0.
Options: I do not remember if the back-plane has 2 or 4 SATA by passes if it has 4 you could try a FAN cable to by pass the multiplexer (remember set the jumpers!).
Or just buy a P410 off ebay.
