I put it in a x4 slot which is not ideal, and it started working. Maybe that x8 slot is bad? Thank you for your help.

For anyone else with a super micro 846 chassis, the case fans are not enough to cool the Tesla P4 in the x16 slot. I put the blower fan that they shipped me with the card onto the card and it cooled right off. I was getting thermal throttling in a 55 degree F environment with just case fans. Would probably work better without fan in a 2U case... I cannot hear the blower fan on the P4 at all over the standard supermicro case fans, so that's nice.

LSi 9220-8i is the old card that stopped working when I put the new card into the system, the 9300-8i is the new card and is working fine. Also to be clear there is an older sas controller built into the motherboard that I am not using, which will likely show up.

This would be for my HDD CACHE, none of the drives attached to the old card show up. I've swapped pcie slots with the cards and no change. I checked in bios and the pcie slot its plugged into is pcie 3 x8 which the card uses. What am I missing? I've ruled out a bad cables between the HBA and the backplane. Also ruled out bad back plane slots. nas-diagnostics-20240216-1603.zip

Interested in trying this. I have a super micro 846 4 U chasis with 5 chasis fans. would I still need a fan on the card itself?

n/m I forced a reboot and am doing a parity check

Not sure what happened but its now restarted with a parity check. I guess I will try mover again after parity finishes.

So, the server won't reboot. Its stuck on unmounting user shares. How to proceed?

The mover appears to be stalled so I am going to reboot and try again. As its clearly stuck.

neither the hdd status leds or the log seem to be moving now, ill give it some more time, but it seems to have stalled again...

It had been flying by previously.

I used the unraid webgui file browser to confirm the appdata folder on the array does indeed NOT have copies of the files... perhaps im looking for old files wrong? I figured it out. I changed the primary storage as well as secondary. I put the primary storage back to the original locations and changed the secondary storage to the array. I THINK its working now... will confirm.

well. The hdds dont show activity, but there are clearly commands going by in the log now. its just move commands and then a corresponding file exists then repeat... reboot and try again? It seems like its moving it to the place it got it from?

Hi, I'm trying to reorganize things better on my server. I tried to use mover to move things off cache shares (I have two) to the array. That way I can remove some failing drives and reorganize other drives into other shares. The mover button is gray and says its running, but when I look inside the main tab there are no reads or writes being done on any disks. I also checked the log and nothing seems to be happening there either. Any suggestions on how to proceed without starting over? just wait more? nas-diagnostics-20240119-0819.zip

sorry... nas-diagnostics-20230325-0856.zip
