Hi, I have never experienced this issue before and hope to find some help.

I run an HP DL 380 Gen9 with a P420ar raid card with PCI expander. There are currently 19 existing SAS drives that appear to be functioning as they should. I have added two drives to the system and neither of them are reporting to Unassigned Devices. I can hear both drives spin up and the activity lights indicate they are detected. They also appear as present and healthy in the storage manifest in HP's ILO. This system has been online for well over a year and I have successfully added new disks as recently as January. The only variable I can think of at the moment is the recent upgrade to 7.2.4 from 7.2.3 last week.

This is an excerpt from the log that shows that unraid does recognize the event when I inserted them into the drive bays and my two attempts at refreshing UD.

Has anyone else ran into something like this? Please help me figure this out.

Thank you

Make sure the drives are being passed through by the RAID controller; this may mean creating a RAID0/JBOD volume on them, and note that RAID controllers are not recommended in general.
