LSI 9211-8i (PERC H200) Can see drives, but can't access


Recommended Posts

So, I've been tinkering with this for about 9 hours now.

I finally have my Dell PERC H200 flashed to the LSI 9211-8i IT firmware and the latest bios installed.

 

I can see that the drives are connected (they show up in SCSI devices as shown below). I can't see the size of the drives for some reason (they are 2 TB). The drives in question are the last 3 seagate drives.

However, I cannot add them to my array (as shown below, they don't appear in the drop down menu).

Additionally, in ubuntu, they show up like this:

Whereas a working (SATA in this case) drive shows up like this:

I am new to unraid, as well as HBAs and flashing them. However, from all of the googling I have done, everything appears to be successful. It just doesn't work. I've tried reflashing the card, seating it in a different PCI-E slot, a different system, trying the other port on my HBA, etc.

 

For the record, I'm also providing some screenshots of the BIOS on the HBA itself.

Hopefully there is just some setting I'm not checking that I am unaware of.

 

Thanks for any help you can give!
