I also have a Proliant DL360p but it's an older Gen8. My primary use for it is a zfs supported file server under FreeBSD 11.1 The Gen8 P420i controller causes heartache under FreeBSD. I finally gave up trying to get direct access to the disks and gave a raid5 virtual disk to zfs.
I'm not sure what your expectation was but the Smart Array hardware RAID controllers I've seen from HP are the same as IBM / Dell in the sense that the controller presents a logical disk to the host for all RAID configurations, RAID 0 or otherwise. Host access to a disk where the controller acts as just a HBA isn't possible. It's a purposeful design difference between a RAID controller and a HBA.
