sniggil Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) I plan to move an existing unraid from a Chenbro box and bought (abbreviated list): GIGABYTE Z590 VISION D LGA 1200 Intel Z590 ATX Motherboard LSI SAS 9207-8e in IT mode and a JBOD box and also a QNAP TL-D1600S JBOD box along with its PCIe SATA Interface Card (QXP-1600eS) I adjusted the BIOS and have a trial version of unraid working without issue. It's a huge upgrade from the dual Xeon L5640. Unfortunately, I can not see either SATA card, only the MB provided ports. After reviewing the forums for a few days and tinkering with the BIOS, I haven't been able to 'see' the cards. Any advise or suggestions would be great.

Squid Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Which slot is the card in? Did you change the BIOS settings to effectively disable slot 2 by forcing slot 1 to be x16? Can you enter the "bios" of the LSI card? Post your diagnostics Quote Link to comment
sniggil Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 I've placed it in PCIEX16 and checked the MB BIOS and the card does not show up, nor are any PCI slots selectable in the BIOS. They are greyed out. At this point I would not know how to enter the bios of the LSI card. Attached are the diagnostics. pinfish-diagnostics-20211217-2212.zip Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) It have report doesn't work, should be due to Unraid haven't driver for the SATA card (QXP-1600eS). But OP have detect the controller but you haven't. 9 hours ago, sniggil said: LSI SAS 9207-8e in IT mode and a JBOD box 9207-8e also can't detect QNAP TL-D1600S ??

Squid Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The LSI is appearing 01:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller [0107]: Broadcom / LSI SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [1000:0087] (rev 01) Subsystem: Hewlett Packard Enterprise H221 / 9207-8e [1590:0042] Kernel driver in use: mpt3sas Kernel modules: mpt3sas But, it's firmware is also I believe very out of date Dec 17 19:11:04 PinFish kernel: mpt2sas_cm0: LSISAS2308: FWVersion(11.10.07.00), ChipRevision(0x01), BiosVersion(07.20.10.00) I think that P20 is the version that you should be running.

It's strange that I can not find it in the BIOS. I'll get the LSI BIOS updated as soon as I can get my hands on a windows box. Dropping the QNAP card and using the LSI card as suggested by Vy2lo is making the system sluggish. I'll update the diagnostics file and respond to Vr2lo. Quote Link to comment

I have tried that and yes, the 9207-8e has recognized the corresponding drives. The system boots much slower, CPU usage is relatively high and the system is overall sluggish, such as when I assigned those drives and started the array. Attached is an updated diagnostics file which seems to indicate some problems. It may be related to the old firmware as Squid has pointed out. I will look to get that updated asap. If I can get this worked out and get a different card with 4 ports, the DL1600 may become a viable solution even if the QNAP card is not viable. pinfish-diagnostics-20211218-0537.zip Quote Link to comment

I expect you can't use the enclosure, pls also try update enclosure firmware as mention in previous post. Edited December 18, 2021 by Vr2Io 1 Quote Link to comment
