Yes i just plugged it back in...why?do you still have the sas 2 controller from before to use in the meantime?
That would point to it not being the controller and more of an OS issue possibly. I think you should probably try a linux OS just to see if it does the same thing or not. It will help you rule out things. What you posted seems to rule out the sas card the new or the old one as being the issueYes i just plugged it back in...why?
It's detecting 11 as well
Hmm using linux would force me to make alot of changes on my server...That would point to it not being the controller and more of an OS issue possibly.

My ip is 192.168.0.200, gateway and subnet are already correct.HGST user manual. page 71 onwards is relevant - https://www.hgst.com/sites/default/files/resources/4U60-G2-Storage-Enclosure-User-Guide.pdf
maybe someone changed some of the settings in the management interface. Page 72 shows how to use the ethernet management interface. Looking at the list of commands it supports iomconfiguration should be set to dual and the other command that stands out is zonecfg which should be disabled. I havn't connected mine up yet
ok so my enclosure firmware is: 0210 based on what lsscsi says
i installed sg3-utils and lsscsi packages with apt-get then ran:
sudo lsscsi -g | grep encl
output which shows both backplanes:
[0:0:24:0] enclosu HGST 4U60_STOR_ENCL 0210 - /dev/sg24
[8:0:2:0] enclosu HGST 4U60_STOR_ENCL 0210 - /dev/sg27
see what firmware your enclosure is running. Based on the manual if we can get a copy of the firmware from HGST you can downgrade flash it. I don't see a way for me to read/save the firmware
also i ran sg_scan to show all the devices i have running that the sas card sees and I'm at 28 right now:
sudo sg_scan
/dev/sg0: scsi0 channel=0 id=0 lun=0
etc with 27 more entries

SATA drives are not dual ported. So they only show up on one controller.Some more testings:
Right ESM works with Left ESM plugged out.
But the opposite doesn't apply, Left ESM doesn't work without right ESM.
It doesn't detect any drives with Left ESM alone.
I thought they're supposed to be redundant?
Tried switching cable and it was ok so it's not cabling issue.
