TechTitus Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I upgraded to version 6.9.1 today and now I get missing disks before I start the array. I can reboot and there's either 2-6 drives missing each time. I've reseated all the cables and this wasn't an issue before completing the update. Does anyone have any advice. Nothing physical has been touched for at least the last 4 months or so. I've attached the diagnostic zip to this post. homesrv01-diagnostics-20210310-1715.zip Quote Link to comment
TechTitus Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) This is weird. I can't add the disks in the array but they show up in unassigned devices. Edited March 11, 2021 by TechTitus Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 What do they have in common? Controller? Drive Cage? Quote Link to comment

It's random and the disk don't share a controller or backplane. I even moved the disk around and could see that they don't work in other slots either. It's really weird. I just downgraded back to 6.8.3 and it's working. Not sure what's causing the issue. Edited March 11, 2021 by TechTitus Quote Link to comment
greyday Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 This is probably a "duh" question, but I'm noticing that your unassigned drives aren't mounted. Have you tried mounting them and then adding them back into the array? This may also be why their (and a couple others) SMART reports are blank; I count at least 6 reports that just read Short INQUIRY response, skip product id A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. If you're back to 6.8.3 check their SMART reports, and maybe do a fresh diagnostics dump for us to check? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It's a problem with the SAS2LP, you're not the first with issues after upgrading, you can try this to see if it helps but if it's an option I would recommend replacing it with an LSI, since those controllers have several known issues.
