No Disks are Showing in Version: 6.10.2

Hello community.

 

Today I have installed Unraid onto a 16GB USB and began a trial of Unraid OS using the latest stable version - 6.10.2. I have spent the last 4 hours trying to get 2 hard drives and 1 SSD recognised by Unraid and have so far failed and quickly loosing trust in a system I am yet to use. I therefore turn to the community for guidance and to build this trust.

 

The system is a TK Server SC813M with a X9SCM-F motherboard. It has an LSI 6Gbps SAS Mega RAID Controller Card (L3-25121-86B) installed connected.

 

I have installed a 1,5 TB WD  drive, a 1TB WD drive and a 250 GB Samsung SSD into the server. All drives are recognised within the raid controller config screen.

 

When booted into Unraid I cannot see the drives. I have plugged the drives into a Windows PC and it was instantly recognised by Windows. I used Windows to do a quick reformat of the drives but they still did not show in Unraid.

 

I hope someone can tell me what is going wrong. If all goes to plan this system will be holding 4 drives and in excess of 10TB data and while I have a backup of the data I'd prefer not to have to use it.

 

Please let me know if you need more information to diagnose the problem.

As there is no raid set defined unraid will not see. You need to setup the drives as passthru/jbod. Ideally use a nonraid card or see if it can be flashed as it mode.

Yeah unfortunattly i am not able to do ether of those with my Raid card. But thanks a lot.

You should be able to create a raido volume for each disk, but note that's not ideal, and not recommended with Unraid, you should try to get a true HBA.
