Alright. So here's where I'm at. I have a HP DL380Gen8 and a Promise Vtrak j830s expander. I grabbed this on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M9GRAUM, a LSI 9200-8E card. Had tons of NMI issues at POST when first installed. Flashed new firmware using this guide, and was able to get past boot. got Unraid to see the drive in the expander, but would have tons of NMI IOCKs, type 61 and 71 when writing to the drive. To test in a different machine, dropped the same card in a IBM System x3850, wasn't getting the NMI debug interrupts, but was getting lots of IO errors. Tested different drives, same result. At this point, I'm convinced it's the card, or at least the card type i'm using. Can anyone suggest a reliable external HBA that can be flashed to IT mode without making me want to rip my eyeballs out? As long as I can make a downstream connection over SFF-8088, i should be fine. Preferably, i'd like to go SFF-8088 on both ends, because that's what I have on hand, but i'm not above buying another cable/cable bundle in addition to a card. Or maybe I did something stupid, and someone can call me out on that, and then I can move it to a general help topic elsewhere, but right now, just looking for advice on a good card for the system i'm running. I'm burnt out lol.

So I'm going to assume something stupid happened. Maybe I didn't allow enough time for the JBOD to power up, or something was wrong with the controller that I originally went through. Either way, I switched to the other controller on the JBOD, powered up the HP machine, and we're good to go. Drives are visible to the machine now. I'm going to assume this is clear now, and mark solved. The help is much appreciated @Vr2Io

Oh, how I wish it was a rj45. I may just make my own with some old phone line laying around. It’s just a console cable. Doesn’t have to be the cleanest cable.

Gotcha, so we’re talking to the jbod but the jbod ain’t talkin back. Guess I’m sourcing a db9-rj11 cable and seeing what the vtrak is reporting.

Hello! I have a HP DL380 G8 running UR 6.12.3 Installed inside is a LSI SAS2008/9200-8E card, connected via external SAS 8088 cable to a Promise Vtrak J830s I've flashed the firmware of the card, putting it in IT mode, leaving no BIOS on the card. This guide was followed I currently have two drives in the JBOD, one SATA 8TB HDD, and one 60GB SSD (not for use in production, just for troubleshooting to see if i can find the drive in UNRAID, which I can't.) The HBA does appear in system devices, but no devices appear downstream from the card. No drives appear for assignment to the array. I'm out of ideas. . . can someone unstupid me? I've made sure everything's firmly attached, swapped 8088 cables, drives are good, etc. vmhost-diagnostics-20240218-1618.zip

@Squid you are a godsend! That fixed it! I'm kicking myself for not thinking of that to begin with. I blame it on all the killed brain cells from the holiday-weekend beers

Hey! I'm having trouble with permissions on a share that is written into by a Docker container. I currently have my Unraid instance joined to my domain through a Server 2019 Domain Controller, and Unraid is running 6.9.2 The issue that I am having is that one of my downloaders running through docker occasionally creates subdirectories in the share, and the permissions set on them don't inherit the permissions of the share itself, and the group that has RW access to the share has no read or write permissions to the subfolders in the share, nor are we able to set/reset the perms of the subfolders through the permissions dialog in windows. Is there a setting that I can change in Docker that would yield the windows permissions settings to the AD side, while still giving the Docker container the proper permissions to do it's job? Attempted troubleshooting: In the docker container, modified the path access mode to be r/w - slave and r/w - shared, no change in functionality, unfortunately. Am I dumb for even trying to go down the road of getting this to work with AD at all? tower-diagnostics-20210705-1829.zip
