Hi, do I have bad cables? I started getting issues with multiple drives all at once but SMART seems to think (from what I can tell) that the drives are fine.

 

 

Thank you.

It looks more like a power/connection problem, the only errors logged are with disk1, then it stopped logging, start with those cables and post new diags after array start.

I went through all the connections to everything. It appears to be stable now. I'll follow back up if needed. Thank you @JorgeB

@JorgeB issue came back. new logs attached. Thank you

Could still be a power/connection issue, but this LSI:

 

09:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller [0107]: Broadcom / LSI SAS3008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 [1000:0097] (rev 02)
    Subsystem: Broadcom / LSI SAS9300-8i [1000:30e0]

 

Is using a very old firmware, and both disabled disks are using it, upgrade firmware to latest.

Is it weird that this is only listing one of my cards?

No, because the other one is a SAS2 model, it will only appear with sas2flash.

Is there a way for me to bring this disk back up without rewriting the contents?
 

Only if you are prepared to lose all updates to it that were made since it has been disabled.

 

You would also have to rebuild parity so no other drive must have problems.

 

Hopefully last question for awhile. Can you help me find the correct firmware for the other card? I'm having trouble:

Broadcom / LSI SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [1000:0087] (rev 05)

That one is already using the latest firmware.

seems like there are still issues disk 7 seems to have read errors now but is not being shown as emulated

Disk dropped offline, looks more like a power/connection issue.

Thank you for your time and help Jorge & itimpi. I ordered some new power cables to try.
