I had my 9266-8i working perfectly as I think Raid 6 with 4 qty 3TB Red drives and 1 2TB SATA caching drive on my x299 motherboard. This weekend; I upgraded to a W709E-SAGE workstation board.
All I did was transplant the controller card onto the new motherboard. The system an 850W PSU and I upgraded to a 1300W psu because this new xeon has a 300W TDP.
Anyway; I'm sure that I didn't exactly re-attach the cables into the correct configuration because now the controller says there is no volume. I attempted to "Scan Foreign Configuration" but I'm getting an error "Foreign drives cannot be imported as they don't form a complete configuration"
I tried with and without the SSD installed. Same error.
Ofcourse; I foolishly didn't make a backup of the raid volume as I got lazy and excited to get the new system online.
What can I do if anything? Why are all the drives being seen - but the Storage Manager cannot import the configuration?
