Missing drives.

[madmikeee]

Only 6 out of my 10 2TB Drives are showing. I have the following:

super micro X9SCM-F
2x LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA LSI 9201-8i = 9211-8i IT
latest and greatest freenas stable build.

Both cards are showing in the config on boot but I am only seeing 6 drives + the boot drive. I have 2 sas cables plugged into one card and one cable controlling 2 drives on the other.

I bought these SAS cables all at once when I bought the cards. Maybe bad cables?

ideas? comments? Lude remarks?

Take note of which drives are visible and which are not, e.g. by serial numbers.
Then, swap the cables and see if the problem migrates with the cables.

duh, should have thought of that one.....Thanks!

Interesting outcome so far. It doesn't seem to be the interface cables but the power itself.....hmmmmm

OMG I am an IDIOT....One of the cables from the power supply was loose and causing the problem.....UUUGGGHHH well thanks for the step in the right direction Alex LMAO!!! Mods can close this as "ID10T Error"
