I am not familiar with the HP Proliant DL 380 but i found this on your log 
that might be relevant:

Feb 22 12:55:30 kernel: [   88.277525] qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: firmware: 
requesting ql2300_fw.bin
Feb 22 12:55:30 kernel: [   88.283698] qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Firmware image 
unavailable.
Feb 22 12:55:30 kernel: [   88.283703] qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Firmware images 
can be retrieved from: ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/.
Feb 22 12:55:30 kernel: [   88.283709] qla2xxx 0000:06:01.0: Failed to 
initialize adapter

The adapter fails to initialize, seems to be due to missing firmware. 
Did you add it later (i see the controller starts working later) ?
If not, the procedure is described in the installation manual [1].
The firmware is available on non-free on the package: firmware-qlogic
Somehow (maybe the fw is not mandatory) the storage is detected.

Then there are some errors about duplicated PVs on LVM:

Grub2 seems to be installed without errors.
Feb 22 13:14:29 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on '/dev/cciss/c0d0'
Feb 22 13:14:29 grub-installer: info: grub-install supports --no-floppy

Feb 22 13:14:32 grub-installer: Installation finished. No error reported.
Feb 22 13:14:32 grub-installer: info: grub-install ran successfully


Any ideas?
