I've recently acquired a DL380p Gen8 server and I've managed to run TrueNAS Scale on the 2 disks provided that are connected to a P420i controller in HBA mode.
After validating that most of the necessary apps would properly run either with a VM or as within the K3S cluster, I've decided to buy 6 extra hard drives (Seagate Savvio ST900MM0006).
After adding those, no disks were made available in the disk section. Looking at the server, I've noticed a amber light.
Using this thread to troubleshoot, I wasn't able to even list those new drives.
After a server reboot, those were made available under the disk section inside TrueNAS but with 0 bytes available
My initial suspicion was that those might be with a 520 byte sector but when I tried to format with 512, I got the message that the device was not ready
currently I'm really not sure if this is related to TrueNAS but any hint would be welcome.
