SOLVED M1015 not seeing drives

[eragon5779]

I just install FreeNAS 11.1 on my server. Currently, I am having issues with my M1015 seeing any of the drives in my backplane. I have it crossflashed to IT mode, and a Debian Live CD can see the drives. Being new to FreeBSD, I have no idea what I am doing, and have tried everything I can do to diagnose it.

Specs:
CPU: Dual E5-2670
RAM: 32GB ECC
HBA: M1015 (Crossflashed to IT mode, 20.0.0.7 firmware)
Chassis: SuperMicro SC846-R900B
Backplane: BPN-SAS-846EL1
Motherboard: SuperMicro X9DR3-LN4F+

I have tried:
- Reinstalling FreeNAS
- Replugging the drives
- Changing the port the SAS cable is plugged into

The drives were in a ZFS array in an Ubuntu system before I migrated to FreeNAS.

You say the card can’t see the drives? Did you check the card bios or how did you determine that?

 

[eragon5779]

So the card can see the drives if I run Debian, just not FreeNAS (I should have specified that). I don't know if I configured something wrong, though I don't think I need to do extra configuration beyond cross-flashing the card?

The OS doesn’t determine if the card sees the drives.. so, do they show up in bios?

Turned out to be a hardware ID10T error. A cable somehow came loose from the backplane, so it sporadically saw the drives as the connection was made.
