I’m having what I believe to be a driver issue with my FreeNAS build [FreeNAS-9.10.1-U4 (ec9a7d3)] and I’m hoping that someone out there can help point me in the right direction. The problem that I’m facing is that all new HDD installs to my server (disks 86-90) are failing to install or be recognized by FreeNAS, and seemingly the OS as well. All old or previously installed HDDs continue to function without issue. The problem persists after numerous reboots.
After installing a new SAS HDD the DMESG output will state the following:
The error message repeats for each new drive with the actual handle being unique to each drive. I will post pertanent DMESG and SAS2FLAH output below:
DMESG output relative to my Avago/LSI adapters
SAS2FLASH output
After opening a ticket with Broadcom I’ve been instructed to replace the currently installed Kernel driver with the manufacture variant which can be found on their site and is currently P20.00.00.00. I’m extremely apprehensive about this. Is this even a valid troubleshooting step with regard to a FreeNAS server? Is it critical to run the Kernel driver that is installed by default and otherwise unique to this build? I currently have the BIOS disabled within the LSI HBA configurations as well as a very low INIT13 number, possibly zero.
I appreciate any insight or experience you might be able to share on this matter.
