Hello everyone, I recently purchased an ASRock N100M motherboard with the following setup in mind: Use an ASM1166 M.2 to 5x SATA adapter to connect 4 SATA drives. Attach 2x 240GB SSDs directly to the motherboard over SATA. Install Proxmox as a bootable RAIDZ set on the 4 SATA drives. Add the 2...

Hello! I have just gotten my hands on a Dell H330, and I have two questions. Firstly, can I flash to IT mode with a different computer than the original one? I found a few guides on flashing it, but all of them seem to use the server it was in. Secondly, what cables can I use with it? In the...

Hello everyone, I’m starting to exhaust available sources of information as none of us can seem to determine the issue with this HBA so far. Been on the Unraid forums, discord, Reddit, etc and so far no luck. Current system: -Dedicated server chassis with i9-12900k, 64GB DDR5 -2x SM JBOD’s...

Hi All I decided to shrink my server from using a Supermicro X9SRI-f to an Asus mini itx based system. The Dell PERC 310 flashed to IT mode i had in the supermicro system won't show in BIOS and the splash screen with CTRL-C isn't showing. The card shows in device manager but the disks aren't...

I would like to build a 1u rackmount nas enclosure attached to my MS-01. Ideally 16 nvme modules using 2 * 5.25 slots but I havent found a short chassis of 1u with 2 x 5.25 slots yet. If you have any idea for that it would great. The 5.25 to nvme modules I want to use are these : MB873MP-B V2_8...

SOLUTION: Asked a friend of mine for help, they researched a bit and found this KB450057 - Using Staggered Spin Up - 45Drives Knowledge Base Checked the details of every disk in hdparm and indeed the faulty drive had this feature turned on. After running hdparm -s0 for the drive it started...

Hello!! I am troubleshooting disks not being recognized by my HBA. I have an overkill HBA for my purpose purchased used from eBay but I figured it would still work for my purpose and was reasonably priced. For my setup, I'm running: Server HPE DL360 Gen 9 x2 Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 x2 16GB...

Hi, I have recently purchased a NetApp (LSI?) Class 3650 Model 0834 Storage Array, it uses 2 x NetApp Drive Module PN 45822-00 to connect to the computer. The storage array currently (and for the near future) will be filled with 12 x 4TB Seagate EXOS Drives. After doing a lot of reading and...

Before I give ebay more of my money I thought I would ask here. I prefer a single -16e but open to two -8e. Needs to be LSI and able to flash into IT Mode. Found one locally. Thank you all. Thank you

Hello there I'm trying to setup TrueNAS Core on my HP DL380p Gen8 in a ESXI 6.5 VM. I bought a H240 HBA because I couldn't get a H220 used as some forums stated it works just fine. I installed the card in slot 2, redone the internal wiring so I actually can use it. It shows up during the boot...

I have a few threadripper boards, an asrock rack x570d4ult2 (might be wrong but it’s a very similar name). Then some standard consumer pcs, an i5 from 2013 and an x570 phantom minibus tb3. Both phantom and asrock rack use 5950x. Threadripper is on an Asus sage pro workstation with 3275, consumer...

Hello folks! I've recently acquired two T9710 which are arriving soon so they can be a home lab VMWare Cluster. I'm adding to each machine 8x SATA3 consumer level SSDs using SAS breakout cables. Those are capacity disks. I also need to add 4x NVMe M.2 SSDs. However, the T7910 doesn't have M.2...

Hi Can someone please recommend an HBA on the vmware HCL for ESXi 8.0 that either supports SATA, NVME or both and can be viewed/managed/monitored in ESXi for health/temperature reporting purposes? I just need to boot from the HBA so doesnt have to be large number of ports. Ideally the card...

Good day I have a "SAS 9286-8e" PCIe card with SFF8066 connectors. I would like to use it for a JBOD, but for that I need the IT mode (for ZFS). Does someone know if this 9286-8e card can do IT mode? I found contradictory information, some even sell this card on eBay claiming it has IT mode...

Hi All I have three Dell R610 Servers with me and was thinking of setting up a home lab with Proxmox. These servers come with Perc 6i RAID controllers and I understand that there is no way for me to configure the drives as JBOD for Ceph Storage. I am looking at replacing the Perc 6i with SAS...

Not 100% sure where this topic lies, so sorry if it's in the wrong subforum After lots of "fun" attempting to flash a PERC H330 to IT mode, I gave up, and flashed an IBM LSI SAS9302-8i instead. Fresh install of Proxmox, all updated, OS sees the HBA, but only one of the eight disks attached to...

I recently purchased a used R730xd LFF 12-bay (3.5”x 12 bay backplane) that I have installed Proxmox on and plan to use for some VMs (Emby/Jellyfin/Plex/Docker, etc, experimenting) and ZFS storage. Basically doing compute and storage with this until and it's a sandbox until I get a feel for what...

I have a LSI 9211-8i sas card, only one port seems to work out of the two. I tested the cables and the drives and there does not seem to be an issue there. I am not too familiar with SAS cards and I am hoping someone here may know the command or way to check to see if that port has been TURN off...

Hello everyone, I am currently running Proxmox VE 7.4. I virtualized Ubuntu Server LTS 22.04 and TrueNAS Scale as VMs and started my first ZFS pool with 4 HDDs. Everything was working fine until recently, when I decided to increase number of HDDs inside my case. After adding 4 more disks to...

I'm experiencing weird problem with my DS4243 where I am getting high iowait on it consistently. Originally I had a Supermicro 846 sas2 expander back plane and load was around 8-12. Since switching my storage over to a DS4243 I am seeing a load of 20-40. My setup: Supermicro 826 12 bay...
