September 24, 20178 yr I just picked up a AMCC 16 Port PCI-E RAID Controller With Battery BBU 9650SE-16ML... Cant say that I have seen this card here before... Could someone take a look at the specs and let me know if they think it will work... http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMCC-16-Port-PCI-E-RAID-Controller-With-Battery-BBU-9650SE-16ML-/142220992914?epid=666459515&hash=item211d082192:g:9LAAAOSwLOtYXCyr
September 28, 20178 yr Author welp all... I was able to update the card... and it sees HDDs that are larger then 3tb... (my current largest is 5) so... that's a win... now... I just need to get unraid to see that card... advice? I am updating unraid first to see if that will correct the error... forward progress
September 28, 20178 yr Author the disk drives are MIA... I have attached my logs... and advice to what direction I should go in would greatly be accepted... this is my 2nd ever SAS controller... and what else I might need to change or configure... perhaps its related to drivers? but it's an old card... so... it should work... I should note... that the SAS card doesnt have the BIOS loaded into it... (but new firmware) I would assume that this means that the disks would be presented as a jbob to the OS... Would i need to load a BIOS onto the card? diag.txt Edited September 28, 20178 yr by mathomas3
September 28, 20178 yr Author after some reading... the msg 3ware BIOS not loaded... is a mute point... that shouldnt hinder the operation of unraid communicating with this card... Help! -__-

September 28, 20178 yr Controller is detected and a driver loaded, but don't see any attempt to find devices: Sep 27 18:38:37 Tower kernel: 3w-9xxx: scsi1: AEN: INFO (0x04:0x0053): Battery capacity test is overdue:. Sep 27 18:38:37 Tower kernel: 3w-9xxx: scsi1: Found a 3ware 9000 Storage Controller at 0xfe520000, IRQ: 43.

No idea why it doesn't work, but IMO you should have bough a known supported controller, like an LSI.

September 29, 20178 yr Did you check the export JBOD setting? Details are in my reply to your other post: BTW the 9650SE is a SATA only, not a SAS controller.
