Hello there,
I recently moved the array (with 10 drives of 10 tb each in a 2 x parity plus 8/eight from a pc case to a bigger case with 24 bays and from LSI SAS 9300-16i to a HBA SAS/SATA PCIE X8 TO 24 PORT SFF-8643 12GB/S EXPANSION CARD(it is a LSI 3224 model), the rest of the setup remains the same. 8 store
Besides the initial 10 drives i attached another 8 x 6 tb sas drives.
After boot I keep get missing disk from array, in any position I put the drives on any of the 6 backplanes. I tried al combinations between drives, cables, I even tried to use another controller in addition(the initial one and another with 8 ).
Every time I get 1 or 2 missing drives from the original array and from 1 to 5 drives from the second batch of 6 tb drives not being seen.
So, I rebooted with only the initial drives of the array, rebuild the parity(by mistake) and added 4 more drives. I got again 1 missing drive from the original one(first ones of 10tb).
I rebooted with only 1 new drive, all good, upgraded the array to 8 x 10 + 1 x 6. I did it again with another 6 tb drive, all good, got 8 x 10 + 2 x6.
From here I have the same problem, i put in the third 6 tb drive, i get a missing drive from the 10tb ones, whatever the slot I used.
Any advice?
