The following error was confirmed in dmesg.
The module has been stopped due to an error while loading.

  

[    6.292765] mpt3sas version 41.00.00.00 loaded

The same phenomenon was confirmed on H310 using the same mpt3sas module.
I am checking this with @wjz304 of ARPL-i18n.

This issue is partially written in Chinese, but please use a translator.

Thanks a lot so now this needs to get fixed and once done rebuild the loader again. I take it this is WIP now to get fixed.

 

Thanks again for all your help & support with all of this.

 

I hope there is a fix soon. 

 

I take it this is just a messed-up DSM Partition that needs to get re-installed.

This is a review of what I experienced in the past on Dell Perc H310 with DSM 6.2.3.

 

At that time, there was a problem in which some disks were not recognized by the HBA, and there was a difficult time because the RAID in DSM kept failing.

 

According to the advice of RAID controller experts, most of the IT Mode firmware used in SAS controllers are legacy firmware.

 

It is recommended to change the Storage Boot Option to Legacy instead of EFI during BIOS setup in MOBO.

 

Of course, EFI firmware also exists separately.

By doing this, the SAS controller's BIOS boot screen will additionally appear as shown below during BIOS booting,

 

and sufficient timing to accurately detect disks can be obtained during this process.

As advised by experts, I always use the Storage Boot Option when using an HBA. Fast Boot is also not used.

 

After maintaining these settings, the phenomenon of losing disks from DSM has decreased significantly.

 

I think this theory can be applied to DSM 7 as well.

 

Does a setting like this exist in HP GEN8?

Thanks for this. It is already on Legacy (will triple check) and the disks do show on the controller all 4 of them.  The interesting thing is it worked the first time when i updated then it went dead in DSM.

[HBA - H200, H310 recommended setting]

 

DDSML, DS3622xs+, not EUDEV

 

"DiskIdxMap": "1000",
"SataPortMap": "12",
"SasIdxMap: "0",
"MaxDisks: "24"

I built another baremetal with H310 IT-mode (latest DS3622xs+ with Friend). When i set as you mention then i see all 8 drives connected to H310 but i also have 2 drives connected to motherboard (sata1 and 2) and those 2 drives has not been detected.

 

obraz.png.b02332193a8101479763549155c552fe.png

 

In default configuration (DiskIdxMap=0, SasIdxMap=0 SataPortMap) 2 drives connected directly to motherboard are detected as bay 1 and 2 but not all drives connected to H310 are detected - it shows only 5 drives in bay 8,9,10,11,12 - it looks like channels are duplicated (channel A - 8,9,10,11 and channel B - 9,10,11,12).

I tried a lot of "DiskIdxMap & SataPortMap" combinations and always some of drives has not been detected. I don`t understand "logic" of those two variables but FINALLY with:

DiskIdxMap=0011

SataPortMap=24

SasIdxMap=0

MaxDisks=24

 

all drives has been detected - maybe not perfectly but it works!!
1-2 bay - motherboards sata 1 and 2

3 bay is empty?

4-11 bay - 8 drives connected to H310

 

BUT for test i connected another drive... to sata6 port on motherboard, then all H310`s drives disapper :D only sata1&2 has been showed. WTF...

 

if I understand correctly SataPortMap=xyz means:

- x - numer of sata port on 1st controller
- y - numer of sata port on 2nd controller
- z - numer of sata port on 3rd controller

...

So in my example should be 68 (6 ports on internal controller and 8 ports on H310). But how to understand DiskIdxMap?? How should i set it?

Hi @shibby

 

This is interesting. So since i have 4 Disks on the LSI 9211-4i what should I try and use ? 

 

I am using the below:

 

"DiskIdxMap": "1000",
"SataPortMap": "12",
"SasIdxMap: "0",
"MaxDisks: "16"

@wjz304 and that is solution for my issue. It looks like DS3622xs+ has limit to 12 drives. I changed internal/esata/usbportcfg to 24 drives and now i see all my disks

 

obraz.png.f249db2acad55404ad94bec853228f30.png

1-6 - internal sata ports on motherboard

7 - empty? i dont know what is it and why is it here?

8-15 - 8 drives from H310

 

SataPortMap=68

DiskIdxMap=0000

Hi @shibby

 

Did you have to leave the SasIdxMap in still or only update those 2 values ?

@Vodka2014 your settings looks correct if you are using only LSI card for drives. If all drives are detected you dont have to change anything.

 

i didnt touch SasIdxMap so it is set to 0.

 

Interesting that you got the H310 to work when https://github.com/wjz304/arpl-i18n/issues/209 is the same issue i am having on DS3622xs+. 

 

The driver is crashing it seems.

The calculation of SataPortMap and DiskIdxMap should be combined with the specific information of the controller, rather than WYSIWYG. The table above calculates internalportcfg, esatportcfg, usbportcfg, and maxdisks.  recommended not to set SataPortMap and DiskIdxMap

 

因此，将“”保留为无值或将其设置为 0

 

So leave it is "" with no value or set it to 0

Yes, my suggestion is to abandon SataPortMap and DiskIdxMap,

If there are any issues, they can be improved by modifying internalportcfg, esatportcfg, usbportcfg, and maxdisks

@Peter Suh i have another problem on DS3622xs+, this time is my 10GbE netcard - tn40xx driver. Fresh instalation using M-Shell and card is not detected - dmesg shows only:

Quote

[  132.060523] tn40xx low_mem_msg proc entry initialized
[  132.060757] tn40xx low_mem_counter proc entry initialized

[  132.061202] tn40xx: Tehuti Network Driver, 0.3.6.12.3

 

but if i unload this module (modprobe -r tn40xx) and download this module

https://github.com/PeterSuh-Q3/arpl-modules/blob/main/broadwellnk-4.4.302/tn40xx.ko

 

and load (insmod <file> then card is shows up

How can i include correct driver to TCRP?
