DSM 6 - Missing 2 Disks


Moogs

Recommended Posts

I have a Gen 8 HP server with 4 internal disks, these are fine.

I have 8 external disks hooked up to a box over external HBA connections. Each connection runs 4 drives in a single 8 bay enclosure with two links in the back.

 

6 disks are seen, 2 are not and it shows 2 available slots.

 

BIOS Post shows the drives

fdisk -l shows the drives

 

I have 5 USB devices, 12 drives, no eSata so:

 

internalportcfg="0xfff"
usbportcfg="0x1f000"
esataportcfg="0x00000"
maxdisks="12"

I created a RAID group with the 6 drives that are available so it seems the last 2 drives are the ones that I can't use:

It's because your enumeration of your disks are not contiguous.

Notice that /dev/sde and /dev/sdf is missing in your list

When you set internalportcfg to 0xfff, this means you're assigning /dev/sda - /dev/sdl as disks 1-12. 

Because you have a gap in your enumeration (missing /dev/sde and /devsdf) it pushes the remaining 8 disks from /dev/sdg - /dev/sdn.

Since /dev/sdm and /dev/sdn falls outside of /dev/sda - /dev/sdl, two disks won't show up.

 

Easiest way to solve your problem is to simply increase the number of enumerated slots

maxdisks=16
internalportcfg=0xffff
usbportcfg=0x1f0000
esataportcfg=0x0

With this config, you're allocating disk 1-16 (/dev/sda - /dev/sdp) for internal use.
