SOLVED: SAS3008 under Freenas detecting SATA drives as 1.5 GBps only

[Kev]

So what's wrong with this picture.

Here is the output from Freenas under ESXi and VT-d passthrough mode

The drives are:

10TB HGST HUH721010ALN600 SATA drives that can do 6.0 Gb/s

What do you think is wrong?

Edit: Connected to an Lenovo SA120 expander.

 

[Aestr]

Is there a backplane and/or expander in play? If so, which models?

 

[Kev]

Oh yes, a SA120 expander.

 

[j_h_o]

You're running the latest firmware on the SA120?

 

[Kev]

Honestly, I did not update any firmware nor do I know how to check.

Install v1008
storage :: thinkserver storage :: sa120 Lenovo Data Center Support - US

<V1008>
- (New) Add the LSI 93xx SAS HBA support.

 

[Kev]

Cool, do I need a think server or can I pass the HBA to windows and use the following utility to update:

IOCC Firmware Update - ThinkServer Storage SA120

 

[j_h_o]

I have a few SA120 and I've updated firmware without an actual ThinkServer

Yeah, passing thru to a Windows VM should work fine, with the utility on that page.

 

[Kev]

So no luck. Windows detected my Avago 3008 adapter, I can see all my drives in windows but the windows update utility says could not detect enclosure.

EDIT: Dope, RUN AS ADMIN in windows.
