Just to keep things simple i'm going to roll back. (I don't need any of the new features or NVidia driver support). 

 

But is there a timeline of when this will be fixed? 

 

A Patch has been released.

I have some good news after some work with @DrBeaker we got a build off the 5.10.28 with backport fixes included in the 5.10.30 kernel
5.10.28 -> 5.10.30 pm80xx scsi driver fix

 

We are able to successfully initialize the pm8003 card with link and see drives as expected with this simple patch thanks to @ich777 unraid kernel helper made it easy to build the kernel and dropping in patches.

I am not sure if this is against the guidelines, but linking the 5.10.28 kernel built with these changes this is intended ONLY for 6.9.2 release

zip package of the 5.10.28 pm80xx patch.zip 

To note: Please backup your flashdrive before ever trying to use a custom built kernel. You simply need to drop the extracted files into the root of your USB drive and boot/reboot your unraid server. WARNING: only for 6.9.2 release.

You will still need the QSFP SFF-8436 to Mini SAS SFF-8088 Cable.

 

The PMC 8003 had the QSFP SFF-8436 connector (same as the disk shelf).

 

The new card has a Mini SAS SFF-8088 connector.

 

They are not the same.

Good stuff, I'll take a look at that channel.

 

Spaceinvader one (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZDfnUn74N0WeAPvMqTOrtA) is good for all things unraid on the software side.

 

make sure you order a new QSFP SFF-8436 to Mini SAS SFF-8088 Cable also.  The old one will not work as the connectors are different.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a SAS card that is known to work with unRaid 6.9.x that has QSFP ports? Hopefully a card that doesn't require firmware modification and is just plug and play?

 

I purchased an LSI 9212-4i4e 6Gb SAS Controller Card set on IT mode, and a QSFP SFF-8436 to Mini SAS SFF-8088 Cable. Less than A$100 (US$80) all up.

 

Works fine on 6.9.2

I had the same problem using the PM8003. With V6.9.0 Stable.

 

The PM8003 also used to drop drives occasionally on 6.8.3, but only when unraid was started, requiring drives to be pulled and reseated to refresh the array. It was rock sold once running.  I have not seen this issue with the LSI controller.

It all works well again on 6.9.1 now.
