I have installed my Vantec UGT-ST644R PCIe card in my machine to expand the drive capacity however unRAID appears to not want to find the drive that is attached to the card.

 

The motherboard has detected the card and the drive just fine.  I see the drive listed in the bootup during the Cards BIOS screen.

 

unRAID has detected the card just fine as you can see by my PCI device list below.

As you can see unRAID has detected the card as PCI device 02:00.0.

 

Any ideas from anyone?

 

As an aside the drive works fine.  I have plugged it into another SATA controller and the drive is detected just fine.  Also I have used the drive in a Windows box and it works just fine.  Also tried the drive in a USB 3.0 enclosure and the drive works just fine.

 

Also added a syslog in the attachments.

You have to press CTRL-M at post to get into the cards BIOS. From there you will have to select your disk at the corresponding RAID level. Here is a link to the cards manual. You will also want to check the jumpers to make sure they are properly set for the SATA ports you want to use, unless the default is already correct.

Hey ashman70 thanks for the thoughts.  As I stated though the drive is recognized in the BIOS of the device so the jumpers are definately set right.  Also the card is detecting the drive as a physical device just fine.

 

Took a picture of the cards BIOS showing the drive.

 

Possible  issues with virtualization.

Don't know then, could be how its being presented to UnRaid that is the problem, what does 'Unconfigured' mean?

 

I have bought two of these and they work great in Unraid, and likely much cheaper than your Vantec card too.

Thanks Johnnie.black.  Looks like this card is going back.  Appreciate the link!
