srogala Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Hi folks, I'm in need of some help. I decided that sitting at 6.8.3 wasn't a good idea. I upgraded to 6.11.5 and the system was very sluggish. The parity check was running at 50Kb/s. Remembering the Fix Common Problems mentioned that my controller was problematic (SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8) I swapped in a controller I had bought a couple years ago in case I ran into trouble, a LSI SAS2308 (that what it reports as, but it looks like when I bought it on Ebay it was a 9207-8i controller). As I recall it was a recommended controller. With the controller in place, the system came up and was definitely much snappier and acting as I'd expect. Began a parity check and started seeing a ton of errors. I checked and then even changed cables, restarted, but the problems persisted. It seems like they're all happening on my newer and larger 6TB+ HGST drives and 14TB Toshiba parity drive. Prior to these changes my monthly parity check is always clean. Any help would be greatly appreciated. server1-diagnostics-20221121-2254.zip Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted November 22, 2022 Solution Share Posted November 22, 2022 Update the LSI to latest firmware (20.00.07.00), all other p20 releases have known issues. Quote Link to comment
