Hello,
This is my setting:
===============
Supermicro X10-SRA, Xeon E5-2620v3
2x 32G DDR4 Samsung/supermicro certified
3rd party Radeon R270 display, pci-e 3.0 (oprom only)
Plextor SSD card PCI-e gen2 x2 (UEFI/oprom)
LSI Megaraid 9361-8i (UEFI/oprom) + Cachevault and battery pack
Disk on the raid card: 1x HGST 4G SAS HD and another Corsair 256G SSD
On the onboard SATA side: 3T tohsiba desktop HDD 3T and 2x WD Red 2T
The problem:
===============
After I power off the server and disconnect the power to the PSU.
If it is more than six hours, on the next cold boot:
the LSI RAID card would not be detected.
Workaround:
===============
Power on the server for more than 5 minutes, then either one of below is workaround:
a) Physically do server power off and power on; or
b) Enter MB BIOS and load default setting; or
c) Boot to UEFI built-in shell, type reset
For b) and c), the server should be doing a reset reboot (different from warm boot).
I noticed that the server would had a stopping sound, cooling fans should be stopped.
And after about one seconds, it startup. Cooling fan start spinning and having the sound of hard disk spinning.
Then the RAID card would be detected in POST without physically power off and then power on the server.
What had been done:
===============
I had contacted Avago/Broadcom. They only tell me that it is a mother board compatibility issue.
Also I had tried the suggested setting: setting PCI-e 2.0, using UEFI instead of Oprom, changing PCI-e slots, disabling fast boot.
I had contacted Supermicro. They are not able to duplicate the issue. Because they told me they did not had Cachevault and battery pack in the LAB....
For the firmware of the LSI raid card and Supermicro MB, the firmware are upgraded to the latest one
MR 6.10 and version 2.0 but the problem still persist.
I had tried to remove the CV battery pack connection to the CV. After six hours, the raid card is detected on the next cold boot.
Any ideas are welcome.
Edit: I don't had any problem with the MB in the past three months.
The LSI raid card is newly added on two weeks ago and had problem.
