Swelgje Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hi, I am trying to setup an Unraid server my goals are - use Unraid as a NAS - use Unraid with a win10 VM - run filemaker on vm Now i am having trouble with Unraid before reboot everything in the array looks fine After reboot in this case disk 1 is a unassigned drive. its says its missing but the drive is there. Now when i look assign the drive to Disk 1 it says its wrong. Can someone tell me whats wrong ? Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 It looks like you assigned the drive originally when it was on a built-in SATA port. Now you've moved it to your SAS controller, and it has changed the device identifier. Cross-flashing the controller to IT mode fixes this. (or move it back) Quote Link to comment

Swelgje Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Thanks for al the quick replys. Call me stupid but i dont get it i did not change the drives. The r710 has 4 drive bays connected to the sas controler not to a SATA port. When i start a new config and start over the same thing happens. after reboot it kicks out the drives Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 HBA is crashing and keeps re-initializing: Sep 22 09:10:01 BMS kernel: mpt2sas_cm0: fault_state(0x2665)! Start by updating the firmware since it's on a very old one: Sep 22 09:10:03 BMS kernel: mpt2sas_cm0: LSISAS2008: FWVersion(02.15.63.00) Current one is 20.00.07.00 Quote Link to comment

When i start a new config and start over the same thing happens. after reboot it kicks out the drives I am no expert on disk controller but I think I can give a bit more context to the suggestions of JorgeB, trurl & Squid. You are apparently using a RAID card that passes some information to the system and unraid. But a RAID card generally does not passes the drives S/N but some value that it assigns to each drive. However, this value is not always kept the same on each reboot. This might not be an issue for some type of application but unraid saves the disks allocation using the disks S/N. If unraid cannot find those identical S/N, unraid cannot do the assignement. That's why trurl suggests to flash your RAID drive into another mode (IT mode). Also, seems a good idea as JorgeB suggested to use the latest firmware. Quote Link to comment
Swelgje Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi Guys, Thank you for all your input. I had updated the sas card and bios ect ect. Now it stays good when i reboot. however i need to flash the h200i to TI mode. can some tel me how to do this for this card ? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 According to the syslog it was already in IT mode, just on a very old firmware. Quote Link to comment
Swelgje Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Where can i see if its in IT mode ? I update the controller to via the dell suport website Sep 26 06:58:26 BMS kernel: mpt2sas_cm0: LSISAS2008: FWVersion(07.15.08.00), ChipRevision(0x02), BiosVersion(07.11.10.00) Quote Link to comment
Swelgje Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 i tried to flash it to IT mode where can i see if i done it right ?
