Raid Controlled Drives not showing, only sata showing

[ukghost]

HI everyone..

 

So i recently acquired a server with 6 hard drive bays controlled from a sata sas raid controller card, i also have 2 sata ssd drives plugged directly into the mother board.

When trying to set up the array devices only the 2 ssd drives appear and not the 6 x 8 tb drives controlled from the raid card.

Also i have attached a 10g network card and that doesn't seem to work through unraid either but it does through windows..

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

 

thanks in advance

i think this is it..

You're using an LSI Megaraid controller, those are not recommended, though they can be used, you need to create a RAID0/JBOD for each disk., but note that it's an older SAS1 model limited to 2.2TB, also that if any time you need to change the controller Unraid won't accept the disks.

 

The 10GbE NIC is being detect correctly, should be working, but ti needs to be configured: Settings -> Network Settings, it's currently eth2.

Am i better buying a HBA controller so it can read the 8tb drives?

Little bit new to all this but trying to do my research where i can

 

Thanks

Yep, look for any LSI with a SAS2008/2308/3008/3408 chipset in IT mode, e.g., 9201-8i, 9211-8i, 9207-8i, 9300-8i, 9400-8i, etc and clones, like the Dell H200/H310 and IBM M1015, these latter ones need to be crossflashed.
