Drive replacement

[opiekeith]

Hello,

 

I had a drive failure in my unraid system, so I purchased a new drive taking the time to upgrade from a 4TB to a 6TB drive.  I put it in and the drive does not show up in unraid.  I have a LSI00194 LSI 6GB/S 8-PORT PCI-E SATA/SAS HOST BUS ADAPTER, that has MPT2BIOS-7.39.02.00.  I am wondering if I need to get in the LSI config to initialize the new drive since the drive size changed.  I swapped out a  drive a year with the same size drive and it came right up and I was able to see the drive in unraid.

 

I have attached my syslog

I have a SAS9211-8i card, flash IT mode.  MPTBios-7.13.02.00.

Trying to install new drive - HGST 6TB HUS726060AL5215 SAS 12.0Gb/s 7200 RPM 3.5" HDD

 

Is there a way for me to verify that the HBA sees the new drive outside of Unraid ?

The HBA is in IT mode so there's nothing you need to do other then connect the new disk, see if it's the "3.3v SATA pin issue", Google that or try using a molex to SATA adapter with that drive.

You have the 3.3v issue with SAS drives?  I can’t adjust the Molex connector as the cable is all in one coming from the hba but I can look at using tape.  

This a used drive that was purchased off of eBay.  I guess I could be bad.

This was it.  I got the tape in and the drive installed and Unraid started and magically it is now showing up.  I would not never thought.  TY for your help.  Always good to be easier than expected.
