SOLVED Growing my storage - What am I doing wrong

[mrramsey]

Ok I received my new 3TB drives to replace my 7 year old 2 TB drives. I powered down and added a new drive to an available sata port. When I go to replace the drive in the Pool Status the new drive does not show up.

I powered down again and placed the new drive in the spot where the first drive I am replacing goes and remove the old drive the 3tb drive displays. What am I overlooking here??

Check to see what shows up in "dmesg" from a command line, or "camcontrol devlist".

Call me an Idiot! really LOL the stupid ports were disabled in the BIOS.

It's fantastic when the answer is that easy.

Well once you get that part figured out the rest is pretty painless. One disk done and starting the next. New drives run 11°C cooler at 33°C
