ArrDee

Im having a weird issue with delugevpn. If i am physically at home, on my home network, i can connect to the webui just fine. If i use an app like parsec and connect to a pc remotely I can access the webui still. However, if i use wireguard and vpn to the home network, I can no longer connect to the service. And thats new. It worked for weeks. I can still connect to everything else like Sonarr, homarr, and all that, it's just deluge that doesnt want to let me connect if i vpn in. Any ideas what might be causing that?

Well, I found and upgraded the fw and bios. SAS drives are still missing in the configuration.

I had two 9201-8is that after reflashing the FW i was able to get going, but I was advised to replace the two boards with one 9305-16i. It finds my sata drives perfectly but the SAS drives not at all. Its on FW 9.000.100.0 in IT mode. I can find the 9305-24i and 9305-16e fws on the broadcom site, but not this 16i model. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ok. What would that look like as far as backing everthing up on the drive and restoring? Sorry, im sure these are dumb questions, Im just trying to wrap my head around it.

When I installed unraid I had a 500gb nvme that I used as the pool. It is formated XFS. I now have another 2tb ssd that I would like to add and create a bigger cache. Can someone explain to me the process of getting this work?

Ok, So I have a ASUS z790 mobo, 12700k, and two LSI 9201-8i HBAs (one is listed as a RAID controller, one as SCSI, both are flashed with latest fw and in IT mode). I removed the one identified as a RAID controller. The other works with SATA drives no problem. I disconnect everything from them. I put the HGST drive in another room, Im not fighting with them any more until i get this thing working. I plug in an 8tb Dell SAS drive. It is not recognized. It is the only drive connected to the HBA that works with SATA drives. lsblk doesnt show anything but the boot drive and the nvme. I have two sets of CABLEDECONN Mini SAS 36 SFF-8087 to (4) SFF-8482 Connectors with SATA Power. I have tried switching those and trying the other port on the working HBA. Nothing. Could I somehow have the wrong cables?

Yes

On 5 new drives?

Yes. And it the issue follows across OS's. Something is up with this model HDD. I have 5 of them and they're all exhibiting the same behavior. Could these be vendor locked and if so, how would I figure that out? === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Vendor: HGST Product: HUH721010AL42C0 Revision: A3Z4 Compliance: SPC-4 LU is fully provisioned Rotation Rate: 7200 rpm Form Factor: 3.5 inches Logical Unit id: 0x5000cca26a671bd8 Serial number: 2THUPWND Device type: disk Transport protocol: SAS (SPL-3) Local Time is: Sun Jan 21 14:14:05 2024 UTC device is NOT READY (e.g. spun down, busy) A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting.

Sure looks to me like they're both in IT mode. LSI Corporation SAS2 Flash Utility Version 20.00.00.00 (2014.09.18) Copyright (c) 2008-2014 LSI Corporation.

I still have the issue where the harddrive on the second board is listed as a device in unraid, but not shown in main section, I could use any guidance ya got.

Does it need to be flashed into IT mode you think?

Thank you for your time and help. I think this is the diagnostics you wanted. tower-diagnostics-20240120-1516.zip

I bought two of these. One is connected to sata drives and they work. It is identified as this in unraid: Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03) The other is attached to sas drives with these and the cables from the power supply. It is identified as this in unraid: RAID bus controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03) In Unraid the sas hard drive conected shows up as: [10:0:0:0] disk HGST HUH721010AL42C0 A3Z4 /dev/sdh - but is not shown on the "Main" page anywhere. (the reason for only one drive showing up is I unplugged all the others until i can get this sorted out) Im not sure where to go from here. Any help would be awesome.
