I successfully turned on the HBA, but after a reboot the disks connected to the controller are not displayed. Why?

Hi, You have to use the command sudo echo "options hpsa hpsa_use_nvram_hba_flag=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/hpsa.conf
What this does is modifies hpsa.conf. So that you will have the disks on reboot.

Could you explain how you used the dkms module on linux kernel 5.15. I am stuck on kernel 5.4 as the dkms' version number is limited to 5.8.
