ash.881 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, I'm attempting to add a precleared disk to the array. I've shut the server down, installed the disk and restarted. The disk is detected and shows up in the "unassigned devices' tab in the gui. I stop the array, go to the array devices tab and select the drive from the dropdown next to the next available disk slot (disk 5 in my case). The gui then refreshes however the disk 5 slot now just shows 'unassigned" and the "unassigned devices" tab has now vanished. If I bring the array back online disk 5 is not added. I have tried 2 different disks now and tried different physical slots in the server, in each case the same behaviour occurs. Any suggestions? I've attached a syslog that covers everything from starting from a power off state through to attempting to add the disk and then restarting the array even though the disk has not been added. The disk I am attempting to add as disk 5 is this one: WD-WCC4N0XTC0XH. Thanks in advance. syslog.txt Edited May 28, 2017 by ash.881 Quote Link to comment

ash.881 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Thanks, I'll give it a shot and report back soon. I did physically move the drive to a different a different sata port/cable incase that was the issue, perhaps I've got 2 dodgy cables or something. Quote Link to comment
ash.881 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 All sorted now, it was a dodgy sata cable as JB suggested. Thanks mate. Looks like it might be time to invest in some new cables. Quote Link to comment
