Sataportmapping and HBAs

[Dishtowel9733]

Does anyone have a simple way of explaining the sataportmap?

I had an incident last month where I ended up having to trash my main volume and a single drive after a power event. I noticed that 2 ports of my HBA card dont actually function. (This was preexisting but I had forgotten about it)

 

I am planning on adding another HBA card (https://www.ebay.com/itm/194910024856 [9207-8i PCIE3.0 6Gbps HBA LSI FW:P20])

 

system info:

MB: ASRock B660

CPU:i5-12400

Memory:CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)

 

current HBA: 9207-8i PCIE3.0 6Gbps HBA LSI FW:P20

planning on adding an identical HBA listed above.

 

storage: 10x 4TB HDDs

also planning on adding 2 m.2s for a read and write cache

 

Running DSM 7.1-42661 Update 1 set up with redplll/tinycore

 

 

I am really wondering the effect that sataportmap has on these and if I need to reinstall DSM 7 redpill to add this HBA and new drives?

HBAs do not use SataPortMap.

 

Automatically map internally.
