Hi all,
Long time tinkerer and lurker. I'm stuck with this problem and don't know how to solve it.
UnRaid 6.8.3
Wanting to build a 24 drive UnRaid
Have a Rocket 750 40 port HBA
On power ON
If I go:
Rocket 750 -> drives: works perfectly
All drives spin up simultaneously as soon as power is turned on.
If I go:
Rocket 750 -> backplane -> drives: times out and drives are taken offline.
Drives spin up sequentially only after the Rocket 750 driver is initialized.
However, if I press RESET after all the drives have spun up, the next boot is fine - all drives are found.
So far I've tried:
2 different backplanes (one SAS x6, one SATA x 24)
Tried setting the Rocket 750 to non Staggered Spin Up using the CLI
Before I bite the bullet and spring for a 24 port LSI HBA (no room for port multipliers) - any suggestions?
(I understand that newer versions of UnRAID no longer support the Rocket 750 so it may be a lost cause).
