April 11, 20251 yr i started a parity check before bed and the next day i log into unraid and see all disks missing. i have tried everything and in different machines but still not showing any disks.. i get it listed in device list and all, and can go into the cards bios but it doesent show the disks there aswell.. what could be wrong with the hba ?? it is a lsi 9305-16i btw in IT mode Edited April 11, 20251 yr by gloory91
April 11, 20251 yr It sounds like something has gone bad, try showing us diagnostics. If they are SATA drives, try connecting one or more to the motherboard to see if they show up that way to exclude bad disks, and unplug and put back the cables from the controller and the drives, or use a different cable to make sure the connection is working properly. A good cable will click when it is placed correctly, but some don't make a noise and it's difficult to tell when it's plugged correctly. Also make sure they are facing the right way, since you can put them on the wrong way.

I don't have a 9305 yet, so I don't know what temperature they reach, but generally sas-controllers do get hot and without proper airflow they can overheat and break.

Some do, if you use storcli it says which ones and the temperatures, how accurate they are I don't know though. In the terminal, assuming storcli is in the current directory, you would use the following to show everything: ./storcli64 /c0 show all And for just temperatures: ./storcli64 /c0 show all | grep temp Which for me shows a temperature of 79 celcius on a 9300-8i (really an IBM M1215) which is pretty high, so I'm not sure how accurate it is.
