    LSI 9200-8E and Sans Digital TowerRAID TR8M+B - 8 Bay eSATA?

    Yes - use SAS drives, not SATA ones, behind SAS expanders. Do a search here for resets for everybody (or click this hotlink) to see what I've said previously about the issue.

    I've tried a range of numbers and saved them the fan is stuck at the 4.9k range. I do have 2 NVME drives installed if that matters, but I didn't see anything in the user manual about that causing problems, mind you, the user manual is basically useless. I will try resetting the bios later but...

    Supermicro and RAM installation

    Hi, I'd like to ask a question to the experts. So, I've built only few servers in my life, most of them using Supermicro boards. Every time I built one I've spent hours doing the RAM shuffle dance trying to make the motherboard Post. Today again for the second time this month I had to build a...

    Lenovo E1024 DAS - SATA disks?

    ...handled by a SAS expander can make that drive, or multiple drives, appear offline at the host. And some SAS expanders used the "resets for everybody!" procedure as the last step in attempting error recovery. You really don't want to discover what multiple drives disappearing at the same time...

    S2600CP board - Need a CMOS flash for every boot, where the PSU lost power (on purpose)

    I have the same motherboard and basically the same problem. When I received it 3 weeks ago, I tested it and it booted without problem. Now as I was trying to put the system together, it just powers on for a second and the shuts off(sometimes it will repeat it in a loop every few seconds). I...

    Lockups using SAS3 Expander

    ...a disk hang). Make sure you're running the latest drivers for your flavor of Linux (also available from LSI). Fourth, this sort of thing is why I don't recommend SATA drives behind SAS expanders. One drive hiccups and the expander goes "resets for everybody!" while the host controller goes...

    Used EPYC 7601 post code 78

    Oh, I've tried all kinds of sequences and combinations. On the newest bios now. Nothing makes any difference. And the retail 7251 always boots perfectly on the first try regardless of the previous configuration. If there's no trick here or something specific to the 7601 pretty sure there's...

    SuperMicro 4U 24-BAY Chassis - Gotcha's??

    ...* My experience with SATA drives behind SAS expanders is "it works fine - until it doesn't". It runs into trouble right when you don't want it to - if a drive hangs, the expander usually goes "Resets for everybody!" which causes additional drives to briefly drop offline (and out of the RAID...

    New to SAS/Raid and seeking advice BEFORE I blow anything up please

    The Dell PowerEdge C6220 Thread

    I don't think there is a way to recover from this error. Dell's DCS boards do not handle power failures during BIOS update very well at all. In fact, during my time working there one time we bricked like twenty C6320 boards because the rack PDU breaker tripped during an firmware update...

    After some suggestions for Chassis/Expander upgrade

    ...to SATA drives was that when the SATA druve hung or took too long to complete an operation, the expander would go "Free bus resets for everybody!", resulting in a bunch of drives (not just the problematic one) going offline at the controller. And there goes your RAID set. I've been SAS-only...

    Question: What's the card for 16 internal SATA 3tb?

    ...to try it again. The issue is that everything works fine most of the time, but when a drive acts up, the expander just goes "resets for everybody!" and all of the drives drop offline. A couple of things to note: Despite the Amazon description, this is a SATA controller, not SAS. SAS...

    SMB Signing - A Tale

    This is a bit of a longer narrative involving Samba serving files to Windows clients. Once upon a time in the homelab I setup a samba server. Files went in; files went out and everybody was wired up at 1gbps or hanging off wifi. Life was good. In the fullness of time various clients were used...
