I've done a manual hard reboot twice now, and checked all cables and connections to the cards and 5x3 cages too.
I looked at the syslog and could not see any items in red or any immediately obvious problems. However the array is working fine using the old cards and new cables, so I assume that the cables are OK Just to complicate matters I also replaced all 5 SFF8087 to SATA forward cables at the same time. I saw a message stating the disks were being unmounted then it quickly changed to array started again.įurthermore after 5 mins the array would lock up with no access to the GUI or server shares, also network connectivity stopped with the LED on the network interface card not being lit. The array booted but 1 disk was missing, and on clicking stop a number of times I was not able to stop the array. I thereafter replaced 2 AOC-SASLP-MV8 cards with new DELL cards using x8 slots, leaving 1 Supermicro card in the x4 slot.
#Reset dell perc h200 adapter bios install
After wiping the old firmware using megarec.exe -cleanflash 0, there were problems writing DELL and LSI firmware using sas2flash.efi -o -f 6GBPSAS.FW and sas2flash.efi -o -f 2118it.bin sometimes with messages saying that the adapter had not reset.įor both cards I tried to install firmware, only for it to fail, then wiping the card again and then trying to load firmware again, eventually to managed to follow the procedure and get both cards running LSI firmware successfully. I have had a huge amount of problems trying to flash both DELL and LSI firmware. I flashed the DELL cards using the procedure here using the UEFI procedure (unfortunately I don't have an old fashioned BIOS motherboard) Also my motherboard has only 2 x16 slots (which work at x8), the third x 16 slot is only x4 I am looking move the cache disks to 2 motherboard ports that support 6Gps. My plan was to purchase 2 DELL PERC H310 cards to replace 2 AOC-SALP-MV8 cards, leaving just the cache disks on 1 AOC-SASLP-MV8 card for the time being. And also I am getting slow 60MBs parity checks too. I am running 6.2.4 on a ASUS M5A99X EVO motherboard with 3 AOC-SASLP-MV8 cards (14 data disks, 2 parity disks and 2 Cache disks (in BTRFS Raid1)), which have never stuck me as 100% reliable, I have had a number of disks go missing over time, despite cables proving OK.
Let me apologise first for the cardinal sin of not having a diagnostics file
