HP ProLiant DL380e Gen8 - Cant Access Raid Controller

Question

i have a HP ProLiant DL380e Gen8 Server with ah P420 Raid Controller. I have configured Raid 5 with 3 Disks. I want to expand the Raid with 2 more Disks. But i cannot access the Raid Controller -> HP Smart Storage Administrator anymore. On Bootup screen it says press F5. When i press F5 it recognize it but it stucks for 10 seconds and then boots to Ubuntu.

Does anyone have an idea why i cannot access it anymore?

Download HPE Smart Storage Administrator, burn it on CD/USB and boot from this media. And you will be able to manage RAID array on the server.

@t_mod2k, not sure. So you should search for old storage disk – Romeo Ninov Aug 16 '22 at 11:19
