I think there is still a problem with SAS cards in 6 Beta-rc3

Hello dgaschk,

 

Here is my smart report

I had this issue just happen, and then resolved it. There is a thread I marked as resolved here https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40210.0

In that thread RobJ says the following:

 

That looked very familiar, and then I realized you are still running 6.0-beta14b.  We used to see a fair number of cases of this, where a whole SAS card seems to drop, and whatever drive is accessed next is often dropped from the array, because all or most of the drives on that card can no longer respond.  PLEASE upgrade, at least to 6.0-beta15, or the latest -rc.  Since beta15 was released, I don't think I've seen a case of this since.  SAS card support does not even yet seem to be completely stable, and if I had one, I would constantly check for newer firmware for the card, and newer unRAID releases, even if they are beta, in order to always have the latest SAS support modules and drivers and firmware.  Support for them does seem to be improving, with fewer problems now.

 

I thought upgrading to 6 Beta-RC3 would resolve this, but it looks like im still having an issue.

 

I have two different cards

 

Sata Controller 1: SUPERMICRO AOC-SASLP-MV8

Sata Controller 2: SUPERMICRO AOC-SAS2LP-MV8

 

The SAS2LP I think has a newer firmware I can upgrade, so I will try that, but the older SASLP does not have any firmware update software available to download from the manufacturer.

 

What would you recommend I do next? And thanks in advance for your support :-)

Also I am starting to check the firmware of my cards, they are as follows:

 

Sata Controller 1: SUPERMICRO AOC-SASLP-MV8 - Firmware Version: 3.1.0.21 (Latest Version)

Sata Controller 2: SUPERMICRO AOC-SAS2LP-MV8- Firmware Version: 4.0.0.1808 (Newer Version Avaliable 4.0.0.1812)

 

I am working on updating the firmware on the AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 right now.

OK, I have updated my SAS card firmware:

 

Sata Controller 1: SUPERMICRO AOC-SASLP-MV8 - Firmware Version: 3.1.0.21 (Latest Version as of 6/4/2015)

Sata Controller 2: SUPERMICRO AOC-SAS2LP-MV8- Firmware Version: 4.0.0.1812 (Latest Version as of 6/4/2015)

 

I have also updated to 6 Beta-RC4. However my disk 13 is still disabled. What is the safest way to recover it?

 

Thank You

I consistently have had these problems on 12, 14b, and 15 (I have a single SAS2LP).  It only seems to affect some hardware configurations, but it's common enough to worry.  I'll upgrade to RC4 this weekend and see what happens.

 

FYI, I also have 1812 and power cycling brings back the missing drive with a healthy SMART report.

My Parity is rebuilding.

 

I think that my failure occurred this time during heavy writes to the server. I think I was copying too and from the server on different machines with 3 separate copies going at one time, and the mover may have been running as well.

 

Would it be beneficial for me to move my cache drive to a sata port on my motherboard? I suspect that I may have just overloaded the SAS card.

If this is true then you need a new SAS card. Working cards do not fail when loaded. There is no way to overload a SATA card. It will just slow down.

Hello dgaschk,

 

I don't know specifically if the card is bad, it was just speculation on my part. I know as much as I see in the logs. If this continues to happen at times of high load, then I will assume a bad card, but as of now its not enough information for a definitive analysis.

 

Looking at the log of the failue, does it provide any hints as to what went wrong? Or are you as much in the dark as I am?

 

Thanks for your help!
