mpt3sas not detecting sas drives on boot #14

Closed eXcalibre closed 2 years ago

eXcalibre commented 2 years ago

I have a LSI SAS2008 IT installed in a Dell R710 If i run rploader listmods (- listmods: Tries to figure out required extensions) it shows the mpt3sas module is available for build.

this is the output of the SAS on the build, which looks fine to me....

The part i think is causing the problem for me and i am unable to work out what to put/change/add into the user_config.json is the SAS part to make sure its loaded and available for finding my disks.

When i reboot and check the install page of the system (port 5000) i get an error stating "no drives detected"

Can you please advise me on how to make sure the Drives are seen on the SAS controller? where/what i put in the json files?

Again thanks for your help and more so on this awsome little loader.

For LSI SAS2008 cards, depending on the actual model, you might need mpt2sas (MPT Fusion SAS 2.0) or a specific megaraid extension. I'm not 100% sure about this, but the mpt3sas extension should work with MPT Fusion SAS 3.0 cards (like a LSI SAS3008 card). I don't know why it defaults to it.

sudo ./rploader.sh ext bromolow-7.0.1-42218 add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/mpt2sas/rpext-index.json

Worked a charm on the boot up Dan, thanks. Now to hope its keeps most of my previous data. Thanks very much for the mpt2sas. As it was detected as mtp3 i thought that would have worked.

Anyway thank you so much. Steve

All data preserved on drives after upgrade to 7. Again thanks a lot.
