SohailS Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) I am hoping i can get some help. i have purchased 2 SAS drives to put into my unraid server. they are : HGST 1.8TB 2.5" SAS drive, 10K RPM 12Gb/s HDD , HUC101818CS420 in order to get them to connect i used some adapters: SAS 22 Pin to SATA 22Pin 7+15 Hard Disk Drive Raid Adapter with 15Pin Power Port the SAS Card i am using is as below and flashed to IT mode : LSI SAS2308-8i(9217-8i) 6Gbps 8Ports HBA I think i have a compatibility issue somewhere maybe?? but that's where i need help. my symptoms are. The drives are seen by the HBA Card. and on the main page in the Unraid dashboard the preclear plugin even sees them : here was my first issue, preclear cant read them. if i go to the main screen on the unraid dashboard they are not visible : however when i go to tools and system devices i can see them where am i going wrong i think maybe im using the wrong adapter? some guidance would be great jarvis-diagnostics-20210701-1020.zip Edited July 1, 2021 by SohailS Quote Link to comment

Solution SohailS Posted July 3, 2021 Author Solution Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) finally figured this one out in case it helps anyone. the issue I was have was that the disk would not format due to the protection so I needed to disable it. there is a PSID printed on the disk. i used this to reset the disk, by usng the below command where <PSIDNODASHS> is the PSID on the disk and device> is the device sedutil-cli --PSIDrevertAdminSP <PSIDNODASHS> /dev/<device> I was then able to run the format command and Type 2 Protection was now removed. Hopefully this will help someone Thanks everyone for helping Edited July 3, 2021 by SohailS 2 Quote Link to comment
Ozbarge Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) How did you get sedutil-cli to run on Unraid? Figured it out. Waiting for successful sg_formats before I share just in case I'm incorrect. Edited June 13, 2022 by Ozbarge 1 Quote Link to comment

I've install it and run the command --scan. It says 'The Kernel flag libata.allow_tpm is not set correctly'. Any idea how this is done? I'm looking for the readme but nothing like that downloaded with the sedutil-cli wget. Quote Link to comment

I have never used the utility before so I can't help with that. But the repo should have plenty of details https://github.com/ChubbyAnt/sedutil/ Quote Link to comment
jacobMarley_ Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I'm dealing with a very similar situation. sedutil reports the same kernel flag error. @jmztaylor, how did you manage to complete that? Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment
