Hey all,

I was toying around with adding a GPU to my rig (I know, I know) and since I had one laying around I decided to try it out. My LSI HBA was in the 16x slot, so I moved it down to the 4x slot and installed the GPU. While I'm researching how pointless what I'd just done was I also noticed that my main storage pool wasn't showing up. I assumed it didn't like the move, and knowing how pointless it was, I swapped it back and pulled the GPU. And . . . nada.

This is a Dell T20 with an E3-1265L, 16GB of RAM, an LSI 9211-8i preflashed to IT mode and carrying 4 10TB disks. One SSD and one HD are connected to the Mobo and those appear without issue. Below is the output from pciconf, which does not show the LSI. I reseated it and reseated the SAS end and the SATA ends of the cable and still no tone. Did I bork my LSI? Will the pool reload intact if I replace the card? Should I start freaking out? Thanks in advance.

Did I bork my LSI?

Maybe

Will the pool reload intact if I replace the card?

No reason to think it wouldn't.

Should I start freaking out?

Up to you.

Try the card in a different machine first to see if you can determine whether you somehow fried the card, or fried (a slot in, hopefully) the T20.

Frustrated, I went ahead and reseated it again last night and moved the miniSAS to A from B and . . . low and behold it worked. I was planning on adding a cage and a few more drives to the T20, so I guess I'll test that on B Port later and see whether I need to replace my LSI. In the meanwhile I'm going to learn more about Proxmox and get the GPU loaded into my R620. Wee!!
