Hello all, I am desperate that someone might be able to assist me. I have had my current unraid server up and running for several years now, and with this LSI HBA card for the better part of 2 years.

 

I recently purchased a new video card to insert, so I stopped the array, shutdown the server cleanly, and removed the old car, inserting the new one. At the same time I took the opportunity to swap the pci-e lane of my hba card to create better airflow. When I powered on the server, it booted to the login screen, upong lofgging in the array was stopped autostart disabled (device configuration change). None of the dropdowns show any available disks.

Here is what I have tried by way of troubleshooting so far.

 

1. Placed the HBA back in the original slot (unsuccessful)

2. moved the new GPU to the slot of the old GPU in case of conflict (unsuccessful)

3. Amended the syslinux.cfg file with the following per previous post here (unsuccessful)

 

I am completely lost at this point, and am worried I have really done something terrible, but I cant see what. I have upgraded hardware before with no issue whatsoever.

 

Server Details:

 

AMD Epyc 7551p

Supermicro H11ssl-i motheroard

128GB ECC RAM

48TB in hard drives

LSI 9207-8i flashed to IT mode

 

The setup was working perfectly until this swap. Please I hope someone can help me.

 

Attached is the diagnostics file from the server

In case anyone finds themselves in the same rabbit hole, this turned out to be a faulty HBA card which just happened to (unfortunately) fail at the same time I was replacing a separate component.

 

I have linked the reddit thread that helped offer some suggestions here in case it is helpful for others. I was able to isolate that the board was not seeing anything coming from the card by opening the terminal and typing in lspci and then hitting enter.

 

This listed all PCIE devices connected, and I noticed that none of the SATA controllers were anything other than my AMD sata controller onboard. A swap to a new card, had me back in the game just as I have been accustomed to with Unraid.
