(SOLVED) Disks not showing up with PCI card

[Chuvisco]

I googled quite a bit already and browsed through similar questions.

But due to lock of knowledge I couldn't find the issue, so I would be glad if someone could point me in the right direction

 

But first some details:

Unraid Version: 6.9.1

PCI Card: LSI SAS 9207-8i https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B008J49G9A

 

Things I already looked into:

Checked the "System Devices", the card seems to show up.

05:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS 2208 [Thunderbolt] [1000:005b] (rev 05)
	Subsystem: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i [1000:9271]
	Kernel driver in use: megaraid_sas
	Kernel modules: megaraid_sas

What confuses me a bit is "9271-8i" being stated as well as "RAID bus controller"

That looks to me that A) the card isn't what was advertised and B) the card is in RAID mode.

Still I am unsure as it is the first time I had something with SAS in my hands.

 

Diagnostic files are attached.

 

Any tips, ideas and hints on what I should do next would be much appreciated

That is not a 9207, which is IT mode only, that's a MegaRAID controller and not recommended for Unriad, though it should still work if you create RAID0/JBOD volumes for all the disks, but again, not recommended.

Thanks for your reply. I will contact the vendor, maybe they sent the wrong card in this case.

Guess that would be the most reasonable next step

Marked this topic as solved, as I contacted the vendor and I will get the card replaced with the 9207 I actually ordered in the first place.

Thanks @JorgeB for shedding some light into the issue
