TUMS

Seriously? I have one of those boards. Is the process the same or do I need to modify anything? That's an old board. Can it run UEFI? Wow coincidence. You should have no problem then. No uefi. Just flash in dos. I use the bottom pci-e slot. I've never specifically flashed a Perc 310 but I imagine it should be the same. It should definitely work for you. I've flashed like 5 LSI 9220-8i controllers so far with this motherboard.

I've heard of people needing to try 3 or 4 motherboards before they found one that would work. But yeah definitely try flashing from uefi shell. I'm going to be flashing another M1015 for somebody this morning from my Asus P6X58D Premium. Works like a charm.

its an open plex issue, has been for a few weeks now. Yeah, all this time i've been wondering why my bluray rips weren't playing. Started a few weeks ago. Anyway I hope they fix it....

I have an official APC serial cable (AP940-0625A) My supermicro board has an integrated serial port and I can't even get it to recognize my SMC1500 within unraid. I looked in bios and port is definitely active. Go to unraid and try all the different apcupsd settings including specify custom cable. No dice..... USB cable works fine but i'm still missing a bunch of reporting, can't get modbus to work over USB. I will try with my SMT1500 as soon as I can get the firmware updated.

Let me know if it works and if some what you used. sure np.

They sell pcie rs232 cards, i've ordered one so I can update the firmware on my SMT1500. I have a SMC1500 also. I will be testing both of these smart models within unraid soon. I normally run a APC Back-UPS RS 1500 with unraid and it obviously reports fine.

You can review unraid diagnostics and what not but if you don't have a smart-ups that supports MODBUS you're probably always going to get incomplete reporting/stats within apcupsd. You should try and contact APC to see if they have a firmware patch, they have released updates for some of their older model ups's. ....And then MODBUS has to be activated within the APC menu's on the unit itself (off by default see above post)

<snipped from apcupsd manual> MODBUS Driver MODBUS is APC's replacement for the aging 'apcsmart' (aka UPS-Link) protocol. It is recommended for modern (ex: SMT series) Smart-UPS models. As of 3.14.11, apcupsd supports the MODBUS protocol over RS232 serial interfaces. As of 3.14.13, apcupsd supports the MODBUS protocol over USB. Not all APC UPSes support MODBUS. New 2013 year Smart-UPS models are likely to support it out-of-the-box and firmware updates are available for some older models. APC/Schneider tech support is your best point of contact for determining if a certain model will support MODBUS. That said, APC knowledge base article FA164737 indicates MODBUS support is available for the majority of the SMC, SMT, and SMX model lines. The required apcupsd.conf settings for MODBUS are straightforward. For MODBUS serial RS232: ## apcupsd.conf v1.1 ## UPSCABLE smart UPSTYPE modbus DEVICE /dev/ttyS0 LOCKFILE /var/lock UPSCLASS standalone UPSMODE disable The DEVICE setting identifies the serial port to which the UPS is connected. This can take the form of COM1, etc. on Windows or /dev/XXX on UNIX systems. You should use the APC-supplied serial cable (P/N 940-0625A) that ships with the UPS. Other 'smart' type cables may work, but only 940-0625A has been formally tested at this time. For MODBUS USB: ## apcupsd.conf v1.1 ## UPSCABLE usb UPSTYPE modbus DEVICE LOCKFILE /var/lock UPSCLASS standalone UPSMODE disable The DEVICE setting can be left blank or, optionally, set to the serial number of the UPS. If DEVICE is blank, apcupsd will attach to the first APC UPS it finds, otherwise it will attach to the specific UPS identified by the serial number. Note that most UPSes ship with MODBUS support disabled by default. You must use the UPS's front panel menu to enable MODBUS protocol support before apcupsd will be able to communicate with the UPS. You may need to enable the "Advanced" menu option before the MODBUS protocol option will be visible.

I was reading a while back that APC smart-ups is not fully compatible with apcupsd. Something about APC using a proprietary protocol for the smart-ups series? I think the guys at apcupsd were complaining about it. Anyway you might want to try and research more about it. I just vaguely remember reading about it.

Yeah it needs to be IT mode.

Yeah I don't know then. It looks like it's flashed correctly. Maybe somebody else has an idea. You sure the drive is actually spun up? EDIT after looking at your log again it's showing under capabilities RAID. Mine doesn't show that. This is exactly what mine shows. My bet is that your card isn't flashed fully for some reason. Dec 1 08:14:50 Tower kernel: mpt2sas0: LSISAS2008: FWVersion(20.00.04.00), ChipRevision(0x03), BiosVersion(07.39.00.00) Dec 1 08:14:50 Tower kernel: mpt2sas0: Protocol=(Initiator,Target), Capabilities=(TLR,EEDP,Snapshot Buffer,Diag Trace Buffer,Task Set Full,NCQ)

hmmm, boot into unraid with the card installed. Look in tools->system log and make sure it lists a LSI card in "initator target" mode. Should show something like this.... Yours should list FWVersion 19.XXXX Dec 1 08:14:50 Tower kernel: mpt2sas0: LSISAS2008: FWVersion(20.00.04.00), ChipRevision(0x03), BiosVersion(07.39.00.00) Dec 1 08:14:50 Tower kernel: mpt2sas0: Protocol=(Initiator,Target), Capabilities=(TLR,EEDP,Snapshot Buffer,Diag Trace Buffer,Task Set Full,NCQ)

Maybe try a different slot or a different MB.

Yep, that's what you want to use.

Yeah, that's fine. I went straight to P20 on my 2 lsi 9220-8i cards. All is working good.

I use plex transcode to ram (have 32gb). I noticed my docker image growing the other day but then when I decided to stop and restart plex to let it update itself the docker percentage went down considerably. You might want to try that to see if it helps.
