January 2, 201412 yr I have an unRAID running 5.04 running on a SuperMicro C2SEA motherboard. I recently installed an IBM M1015 that has been flashed to IT mode. I placed it in the single PCI-Express 2 slot on the motherboard, but when boot the array, it doesn't appear to see the card at all. When I stop the array it shows slots for drives 6-23 and a cache drive, but none of the drives attached to the card are recognized. I've reseated the card and verified all the connections to be secure. My understanding is that v5 of unRAID has drivers for this card built in. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I'm happy to provide any other information that may be helpful. Thank you.

I'm happy to provide any other information that may be helpful. Thank you. Unraid has drivers for the LSI 9211-8i card (which the IBM M1015 is a rebranded version of). When you flashed it to IT mode, I assume you used the LSI 9211-8i firmware?). You could also try flashing it to an alternate version of the firmware. I believe the current version is P17, but I believe some people on this forum run older versions (P14 perhaps?)
January 3, 201412 yr Author Hi Thanks for the response. Yes, I flashed it to the LSI 9211-8i firmware, P17 (not the P14 version you mentioned). After booting the unRAID, is there a way to query the system to see if the LSI drivers are loaded and/or see if the system recognizes that the card is in the slot? Thanks again. Kevin
January 3, 201412 yr I run P11 version - so really old. Need to update just haven't had time to yet. Never had a problem with unRAID 5.0 recognizing any drives.
January 15, 201412 yr I have a similar problem with my installed Highpoint RocketRaid 2680SGL 8 port. I'm not familiar with Linux so when it comes to coding, I'm a bit lost. I have been searching for info about this card and the proper way to load the drivers when unraid boots-up. For the time being I'm just using the MOBO's sata ports
January 24, 201412 yr Author Well, I solved my problem. The motherboard has a BIOS setting to activate Vt-d. I didn't think this would need to be on, as I'm not doing any kind of virtualization, however activating it fixed the problems and the drives attached to the card are now seen. Thanks to everyone for their feedback. Hope this helps someone else, too. Off to preclear some drives! Kevin

I turned VT-d and all other Virtualization options on because I WAS so maybe that is why it worked for me.
