Stan464 Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 Hi Guys, Is there a known issue with LSI V19 FW, have had it installed and running fine other than Drive issues randomly. is this a Known FW with issues? Also, does anyone have a copy of the V20 Files incl the UNRAID Install Method (Flashing) Broadcom now owns LSI and i cant seem to find what i need, Thanks Dude-Dudettes! Quote
Squid Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 This is the thread I used last time I did this 2 years ago (with the actual post I used), but it's a monster thread and for firmware you want to make sure you're using the correct info / files https://forums.unraid.net/topic/12114-lsi-controller-fw-updates-irit-modes/page/24/#comment-255573 Quote
ezhik Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 Only thing I'll mention is the TRIM support. Please refer to: Quote
Stan464 Posted November 22, 2021 Author Posted November 22, 2021 Hey guys, thanks for the Links/Info! seems this must be a Genuine issue with my Server somewhere then as it will Pick a drive at random to Bully and then kick out the array *Unraid Array of course*. Sometimes its Disk 1, sometimes Disk 2, or Disk 6, or Disk 8. Whenever it feels like flexing really. Quote

If so, when such high activity task kicks in, the PSU is undergoing an immense load since ALL of the drives are spun up and are performing a set of validation tasks. As such, I'd recommend calculating, approximately, how much power do you consume at least on drives and looking at the power supply thereafter. For example, I have 16 x 1TB Seagate Drives: Power consumption per drive in my case: 1.8A x 12V = 21.6W Total HDDs: 21.6W x 16 ~= 350W So if you have a decent CPU and maybe a video card in the mix, then you'll need a powerful PSU to handle that. Remember, the PSUs can only sustain 80% efficiency for a prolonged duration of time. Quote
Stan464 Posted November 26, 2021 Author Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) @ezhik You bring up a very good point, im running far less HDD's then that! so my load would be closer too 150/200 id say and then my Ryzen 1600X. Think this is running from a 450w? will need to re-check. But this can happen randomly but yes, Parity Checks seems to really throw up a fit. Maybe it has been PSU the whole time.... Thanks Kindly, Edited November 26, 2021 by Stan464 Quote
