Foundation fails installation process | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

We got three HPE DL380 Gen9 Server with the HP RAID-Controller H240ar Smart HBA 2-Port SAS 12G on which HBA is enabled.

Accordingly to Nutanix this RAID Controller is compatible and should work:

During the middle half of the installation via Foundation, we get the following error:

StandardError: This node is expected to have exactly 1 AHCI controller. But phoenix could not find any such device

After a quick search I saw this KB-Entry:
https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000LIWmCAO

I also made sure to set the SATA Controller Options again manually and rebootet the server multiple times. Also the boot order is set accordingly to the KB-Entry. But I still get this error and phoenix isn’t able to see any AHCI controller via fdisk -l.

Do you have any ideas what else I could try?
