This will all work with stretch. Go through Jessie first.

Some large percentage of the HP P8xx RAID cards eventually
developed hardware bugs that would crash the system. If that
starts happening to you:

1. Backup your data to another system.
2. Replace the P8xx card with an LSI 20xx or 30xx SAS/SATA card.
   There are relatively cheap adapter cables that will work.
   Check before buying.
3. Create new RAID and filesystems, restore your data.
