How to use disks that are on a Netapp disk shelf


Recommended Posts

I have managed to install UnRaid on dell R510 and can see and use all 12 disks that are in the drive bays.  I have also attached a 24bay Netapp disk shelf which is connected with a Netapp 10GB HBA.  Unraid picks up the Netapp HBA and seems to be able to see all the disks in the disk tray,  However I can't seem to be able to add the disks to a new array.  See below:

You can install the NerdPack Gui. Once installed, install the sg3_utils software. When thats done, issue the following:

 

This scans the bus and reports back ALL devices connected. Identify the drive you want to convert / format.

 

# sg_scan -i

/dev/sg8: scsi6 channel=0 id=7 lun=0
NETAPP X287_S15K5288A15 NA00 [rmb=0 cmdq=1 pqual=0 pdev=0x0]
/dev/sg9: scsi6 channel=0 id=8 lun=0
NETAPP X287_S15K5288A15 NA00 [rmb=0 cmdq=1 pqual=0 pdev=0x0]

 

For this example, we will select the first drive.

 

# sg_format --format --size=512 /dev/sg8

NETAPP X287_S15K5288A15 NA00 peripheral_type: disk [0x0]
Mode Sense (block descriptor) data, prior to changes:
Number of blocks=573653847 [0x22314357]
Block size=520 [0x208]

A FORMAT will commence in 10 seconds
ALL data on /dev/sg8 will be DESTROYED
Press control-C to abort

 

Now sit back and wait until it is complete - will take some time. If you want to do multiple drives from the same box, you can either install screen (using the NerdPack GUI) and do them each individually AND log out of your computer or do them all on the same screen and simply lock it.

 

Have fun.
