Hello all,
I'm hoping this community may be able to lend some assistance. I recently upgraded my system from a 9206-16e to a 9305-16e which connect two 15 disk JBODs to my main system via four 8644 SAS3 cables (2 per JBOD). The system has run normally for 2+ years without issue, but I've been having some weird problems with this new implementation.
i purchased the card second ahnd and immediately flashed to IT mode with the newest Firmware but left it with no BIOS. I ran the lsiutil to confirm the ports were configured on as it was originally from a Dell system and Dell likes to play games like that.
Now once i connected it to my system, only the SAS disks are showing up (Array is 20xSAS, 10xSATA) in the OS (Unraid). In the initial boot, the Array GUI, and the system devices tool all show only the SAS disks being seen. When i shutdown, switch the SAS cables back to the 9206-16e HBA (both are installed in the server concurrently), and boot back up, everything is read as normal.
is there a setting in the lsiutil config that I am missing somewhere? Something else I am not seeing here?
I appreciate any thoughts or help anyone could send my way. Thank you.
