I am newish to freeNAS and new to this forum. FreeNAS and vmware host no longer see raid setup, how to get it visible again?
Setup: A ASUS box holding direct connect drive and on the same box has 24 drives connected to a Areca raid controller. The direct connect drive is running vmware 5.5i. Inside the vmware, a virtual machine is created and the virtual machine is running freeNAS 9.11 Until yesterday, the raid controller sees the 24 individual drives. VMware and freeNas see one single storage. But yesterday, an attempt was made to add a new fibre nic card to the system. Although VMware sees the new card, power on the freeNAS virtual machine failed. After the new card is removed. I was able to power on freeNAS vm, but the block storage has disappeared from freeNAS and VMware. It is as if the raid controller is not connected. how do I make it visible again?
Please help me,
Karen
