November 20, 20214 yr Pulling my hair out with this server for weeks now. Was having a ton of issues that seemed to be caused by my Marvel based sata controllers. I took this community's advice and replaced both 16 port cards with LSI 9201-16i cards. I wound up having to rebuild parity, which finally finished yesterday with no errors and I thought I was in the clear. This morning I woke up to errors on both parity drives and both parity drives disabled. Now I assume I need to do a new config to trigger a parity rebuild AGAIN. But I need to fix the underlying problem. I have swapped sata cables, and both of these parity drives are brand new because I was having the same issue with another set of parity drives, so I pulled them and both 2 new 14TB drives. I have also tried a number of sata cables. I'm extremely frustrated at this point and just want my data reliably protected. At this point I have swapped out the controllers, the sata cables, AND the parity drives. What is going on here? diag attached. storage-diagnostics-20211120-1059.zip
November 20, 20214 yr Nov 19 21:19:43 Storage kernel: mpt2sas_cm0: LSISAS2116: FWVersion(15.00.00.00) The firmware is pretty old. Try updating it to the current 20
November 20, 20214 yr Author Firmware is updated, I also moved the server to another room because it was getting pretty hot where it was. Parity is rebuilding AGAIN 🤞
