[Dell PERC H730 Mini - HBA Mode - Non Dell Drive]

Thanks - the drive doesnt seem to me making it to unraid.

I can see it in the idrac and bios but nowhere else.

 

I thought id found it using sg_map, but it looks like it was showing the backplane (BP13G+) and not the drive?

[Dell PERC H730 Mini - HBA Mode - Non Dell Drive]

Hi,

 

I've happily been using the 4no. 1.2tb SAS drives that came with my Dell R530 - No problems at all.

I picked up a fifth drive (matching part number etc) that isn’t Dell branded and the server refuses to make it available as a physical drive?

Standard SATA drives are detected without issue so I assume its something on/in the new drive that’s causing it...

 

I swapped the H730 back to RAID mode, but it made no difference.

 

Any pointers to help me resolve this please?

What until you look through all the Community Apps.  Click Click install and your off and running. 

 

Just incase you don't have it installed.

Wow, Unraid sure has broken free of being a storage system that utilised old random hard drives! 

So many things to learn/relearn

You will want to convert your data disks from ReiserFS to XFS.

New hardware & drives - only the usb stick is original.

Long story short - purchased my license back in 2009’ish and used Unraid till about 2013/14.

Moved to a Synology unit as it was family/user friendly.

Skip to yesterday and me watching an Aussie youtuber using Unraid to run VMs and docker - I was searching for Proxmox guides, for a Dell server I’d got off eBay, and ended up blowing dust off my old Lexar Firefly stick.

 

One licence refresh later and my server is building its parity drive!
