[PLUGIN] Disk Location

[vtmikel]

Hello-

 

I’ve seen references to the 6.12 RC’s in this thread, is the plugin intended to work with 6.12?  Upon installing the Unraid dashboard does not load for me (completely blank), and I am unable to get to the plugin configuration either.

Hello, I rather enjoy this but have noticed that with 2 cache drives in my pool it only recognizes 1 of the drives for entry into the bay designation. Any assistance would be appreciated.

 

What does this command output:

lsscsi -b -g

It should work ye, is it updated to the newest plugin release? Haven't seen what happens with an upgrade from 6.11 -> 6.12 yet, just separate installs. But don't think that should matter. The dashboard for 6.11 should just be ignored, and the other one loaded. It might be located somewhere else on the dashboard than before. Maybe you even need to unhide it by default if they did any changes recently to the RC. Otherwise, try to reinstall the plugin. Database should remain intact.

Hi-  Did a reinstall, same result.  Dashboard is inaccessible, same with the plugin config.  I have to uninstall the plugin to be able to return to the dashboard.  Any debug I can provide?

Hmm, technically the plugin should uninstall itself before it install itself during upgrade. So don't know what's going on there, I'll have a look at it later

Does the logical volumes generate two unique serial numbers? you can probably check that with

smartctl -x /dev/sdb

smartctl -x /dev/sdc

Unfortunately it appears it does not even though there are 2 physical drives.

Then that's the reason, maybe there's a setting to change serial number on the controller or whatever system that is. Maybe bypass logical volumes if possible and run the drives directly? the plugin heavily depend on unique serial numbers, and I never thought this would even be possible.

I will have to get into the controller set up to see if it is possible. It is on a Dl380 G7 server I410 HP Raid controller.

New smaller update to prevent faulty upgrades. Hopefully this fixes some issues.

It's been reported problems with maybe a similar controller here:

https://github.com/olehj/disklocation/issues/191

 

Raid P410 controller, maybe it suffers from the same thing. If it's not reachable with the commandos I gave and cant provide unique serial numbers, then I can't do anything about it.
