Sinister Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Hello i am trying to run smart tests on disks connected my disk shelf, the problem is this seems to not be supported via GUI. After some googling i found on the unraid reddit page a recommendation to a script, when i do i am getting the following error on the disks connected via the disk shelf. Short offline self test failed [unsupported scsi opcode] smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-5.10.28-Unraid] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org Short offline self test failed [aborted command] Can anyone provide some guidance ? for i in {b..z}; do smartctl --test=short /dev/sd$i done Edited February 24, 2022 by Sinister Solved Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted February 24, 2022 Solution Share Posted February 24, 2022 If you're using SATA disks with interposeres remove them and they will be seen as regular SATA devices, assuming a true HBA is being used. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Please post the diagnostics. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Disks are been seen as SAS: === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Vendor: ST8000DM Transport protocol: SAS (SPL-3) Interposers are the little board at the back of the caddys: If you remove this the disks will been seen as SATA, note that doing this will require doing a new config in Unraid since all the devices names will change. 1 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Forgot to mention, besides not being able to run SMART tests it's also not possible to get drive temps and SMART attributes without removing them. Quote Link to comment

Not only not needed but it will prevent some functionalities, you'll need to move the disks a little back without them, never used NetApp enclosures but there should be holes in the caddy for that. 9 minutes ago, Sinister said: if i do need a new config how will i go about doing that ? If the the devices name change you'll need to go to Tools -> New config, reassign all the disks in their original positions, check "parity is already valid" and start the array. Quote Link to comment

OK, didn't look at everything initially, you have a second HBA, there won't be an issue with the disks connected there and also those on the onboard SATA controller, the disks on the NetApp will have their name changed, so a new config will be required.

That definitely resolves this, removing the interposer enabled the smart features. the only thing left is to find the correct screws for my drive caddies and do a data rebuild one by one.

I would assume just removing the interposers wouldn't cause an issue other than the name change. Quote Link to comment

IT changed the name slightly and unraid had a wrong under it when i selected it in the same slot before it was 004-2CX188_SM_XXXXXXXX to now ST8000DM004-2CX188_XXXXXXXX Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Yes, but a new config should fix that, no rebuild needed. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sinister Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Guess i now know going forward. since it told me i needed to rebuild i went ahead and started it which i am.sure erased that drive. At least i dont have to erase the rest which is great news Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Yes let that one finish, you can then try with just one of them first, but doing a new config should be enough. 1 Quote Link to comment

Do i want to preserve current assignments when doing this ? Quote Link to comment

Sinister Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 2 hours ago, JorgeB said: Yes, then you just need to assign the disk with the changed name. i have removed all interposers, and created a new config. This all worked out with any major issues, thank you for your guidance 2 Quote Link to comment
