Yes - use SAS drives, not SATA ones, behind SAS expanders. Do a search here forresetsforeverybody (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...
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...
...handled by a SAS expander can make that drive, or multiple drives, appear offline at the host. And some SAS expanders used the "resetsforeverybody!" procedure as the last step in attempting error recovery. You really don't want to discover what multiple drives disappearing at the same time...
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...
...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 "resetsforeverybody!" while the host controller goes...
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...
...* 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 "Resetsforeverybody!" which causes additional drives to briefly drop offline (and out of the RAID...
Hello,
Firstly, my config:
Windows 10 Pro x64
Ryzen 9 3900x
Asus x570 hero
32GB 3200MHz G. Skill Royal
Avago 9267-8i 512MB
Please forgive me about this thread if was previously spoken abouty this, but I was looking for 2 days some solution for my problem, and I think, better to ask somebody...
Hello everybody. I was so exited reading the thread and did not last longer till i got one of those boards in hands from the same seller. I do not have much experience with server grade hardware but have been using much older and cheaper set ups for running proxmox/truenas/openmediavault at...
...reset a drive, when it sends that command the expander processes it, with the general behavior of jumping up and down, yelling "Resetsforeverybody!!!" with the result that I/O to some or all drives on the expander pauses, which causes the host controller to think there is a problem with...
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...
...to SATA drives was that when the SATA druve hung or took too long to complete an operation, the expander would go "Free bus resetsforeverybody!", 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...
...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 "resetsforeverybody!" 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...
First off, a huge thank you to fohdeesha for your documentation and easy-to-use update package, getting this switch updated, reset and configured was straightforward.
I've got a 6610 that I've been installing at home, and part of the installation process was keeping the existing cheapo rosewill...
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...
