I've recently purchased 2 x SAS drives from ebay and connected them to a Fujitsu 9211-8i.
On startup, the disks are not detected.
But they show up inside the Avago Config Utility ie Slots 0 and 1 (ST2000NMCLAR2000 PS11, but has ST2000NM0001 on the label )
I've successfully formatted them using the config utility, but still the same issue. I tried other breakout cables and connected to an HPE H240 HBA but still no luck.
