Enigmatical

Thanks JorgB, I have worked this out. One of those slap head moments and Very simple. The conflict was iDRAC and its bios setting for OS passthrough, I worked out I had to disable it for passthrough as it runs on the same IP range (169.254.x.x) which is the same for unraid when you cannot get a DHCP response. Thats what confused me... problem now solved.

One option could be to use Krusader in unraid. Just explore the QNAP SMB, setup your copy/move queue and let it run in the background.

Hey all and Thanks in advance Im currently embarking on migrating my existing unraid setup into new hardware in the form of a Dell R730 Prior to the migration, I am conducting hardware tests to ensure smooth transition once I migrate (e.g HBA mode compatibility, hardware recognition and compatibility) Now the only roadblock I am coming across is DHCP auto discover issues so naturally the IP will default to 169.254.x.x. when setting Static IP, pinging of the server wont work, but what I am identifying which i've not seen before is eth0 is linked to a USB Device. Now eth0 cannot be unbonded from the link so its got me stumped anyone come across this issue and can give some insight/guidance?

Sometimes the simple things you miss. a quick SG_format to remove the protection has worked and now underway of rebuilding my array. Thanks Johnnie

Thanks! I had a feeling being enterprise this may be an issue. Off to google I go!

As an update, The IBM drive works absolutely fine as a formatted XFS Share in Unassigned drives via SMB shares. May this be due to mixed SATA and SAS on the 9201 Controller??

Hey all, I have a whole bunch of decommissioned IBM SAS HDD (hitachi & seagate) which are 100% known working. I am using a LSI 9201 flashed with 2008IT firmware. Cables are replaced and new. Now, I have started to introduce them into my system to replace my smaller SATA drives, but seem to be getting a Write errors / IO errors after an erase and pre-clear I had manually set in sdparm the WCE to 1, yet still nothing. Drive will halt with read/write errors when added as the parity drive I also cannot run any SMART diagnostics on the Drive This is completely racking my brain, any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
