Dual Parity Drives Disabled?

[Olymoly]

Good Morning,

 

I am having some trouble with my parity drives after changing to a new chassis. I had a dead PSU or MB and changed MBs and PSU. This happened when i was trying to install a I/O Shield, and properly shutdown Unraid. It maybe possible that a improper shutdown happened, but i don't have any record or situation that i am aware of.

 

I am being told that these drives have read errors, etc.  I was able to complete a parity check with no issues.  I've also stopped the array and unassigned the two drives and restarted the array, followed by a re-adding the parity drives to the same result.

 

I also have two spare drive to replace these drive in case there are bad.

 

i am attaching the the most up to date dianostics. Any input would help.  i assume from my own research that i would have to make a new config as the next step, as i am assuming these drives are not bad,

 

thank you

Looks more like a connection problem, try testing without the expander/backplane, or new cables.

ok ill try that, im using a Supermicro backplane.  maybe a different drive slot or try a new deive in the current slots.

update,

i've switched the cables and try different drive slots, i ve just given up and want to get this done. i had already purchased 2 replacements drives so i'm rebuilding parity and go to try to fix use the previous parity drives as array drives after i test it with preclear.

if they are working i'll try to RMA. are there any suggestion on the route i should take on testing these drives? should i just rma and not bother for sanity/ to ensure no failures done the road?

Still suspect a power/connection issue then, try another PSU if available.

Looking to revist this topic over the next few weeks as its still an issue. Ive Updated my latest Diagnostics in case it would be useful.

 

AFAIK, i am not using an LSI Controller.

 

 i was reading thru this topic again and  I want to say I've tried now different drives/new drives and different slots for the drives, as i though it could be a connection or drive issue.

 

i have two 920w PSUs for this Super-micro case, i doubt but would be the issue. how ever i can try to purchase a spare. in the meantime, can any offer some incite on what is can be causing this. i had no issues prior to this MB Swap so it seems odd to me and a bit lost on how to troubleshoot this.

Ok I'll look more into it,

I just dont understand if it is this, then why only the parity drives.

If I switched these drives for WD would that also be a solution?


Could this also be happening because I used lsi cards to create the array on the previous setup before the MB swap?

Nothing in your recent diagnostics suggests there is anything wrong with these disks. You can run an extended SMART test on them if you want.
