January 23, 20215 yr Ok so I recently installed a new drive. A second WD1000CHTZ as see in the sg_scan list in the first picture. I believe its the first of the two wds in the list. (not sure tho). Anywhoo, when booted up after installing the drive. I could not see it in the gui. I could bring it up in the sg_scan and it is not 520 sectors as its a sata drive. So that's out. Idk what to do and i cant seem to find my case in my previous searches. I attached what i think is all relevant info. Id like to use both in the same machine but i can swap it out for another drive if need be. Thanks in advance. Barce harbinger-diagnostics-20210122-2108.zip
January 23, 20215 yr Community Expert Strange, the disk starts being detected normally and it doesn't complete, but can't see any error or the reason why, if possible try on a different controller.
January 23, 20215 yr Author Will give it a try when i get home from work today. Crashed last night shortly after posting.
January 24, 20215 yr Author Alright. Finally got the chance to play around with the drive. I have two pro licensed unraid servers. Both are Dell PE R510s one has a Dell H200 in it. This is the original system "Harbinger". I tried installing there first no dice. Shows in sg_scan and logs but doesnt show in gui. The other R510 has LSI 9200-8i in it. I installed there next. Wouldn't show in either sg_scan or gui. Neither would a working ssd but that's another matter. So then next i installed it into a windows system and it showed. Healthy, without a filesystem. So I picked MBR in windows but didn't format. Threw it back in the first system. Still shows in sg_scan but not in gui. Ive attached the new diag from just after in rebooted with the drive for the second time. The only thing i can think of is that because in sg_scan the s/n that shows is identical. Maybe that's the conflict? but that wouldn't explain why it won't show up in the other unraid with lsi hba. Im stumped. Edit: Not a big linux guy. Just started tinkering lately with unraid. Forgot to mention that. Thanks again for the help harbinger-diagnostics-20210123-2152.zip Edited January 24, 20215 yr by Barce see edit
January 24, 20215 yr Community Expert Try to format the disk with Windows, just to check it can do it, also try the onboard SATA ports with Unraid, if there are any.
