Hello TrueNAS community.
i am having difficulty getting my truenas core install up and running.
my hope is to use this for NFS shares
i am able to install to the boot drive without issue.
when i run camcontrol devlist it shows all drives connected to the backplane internal to the server
but only some that are connected through the 2 DS14MK2 disk shelves i have attached through a qlogic FC HBA
the drives that do and do not appear are completely random
further, as soon as the web gui comes up you can see all 28 drives in the disk shelves
the longer the system is up the more drives disappear until the gui only shows 1 drive
the internal drives continue to show in camcontrol but not those on the disk shelves
the hardware i am using is all second hand and i thought i had a bad motherboard
so i switched from the DL180G7 i had to a 380G6 as the filer. same issue
swapped HBA, same issue. swapped SFP modules, same issue. swapped fiber, same issue. swapped drives same issue.
when i do a camcontrol rescan all *some* of the drives come back but not all, and then they drop off again.
i have also checked firmware and it appears to be correct. i have tried formatting the drives but as they do not show in camcontrol this is difficult
i tried formatting the internal drives that do show in cam control but not gui. the drives still did not reappear in gui.
the only thing left i can think of is some type of power control is parking the drives when they are not in use and causing them to drop off. but i can find no evidence of others having a similar issue on the forums. i am researching this route currently
i have gone through numerous posts about "drives disappearing" with no resolution to my own problem.
is there something obvious i am missing? If anyone has any advice or help to offer me it would be greatly appreciated.
please let me know if there is any command out put you would like me to post.
