FreeNAS 11.3 disks not showing up

[genesys]

I have 4 x WD Red 8 TB SATA III harddisks.
They are connected through a HBA330 controller.
I installed FreeNAS 11.3 on two usb thumbdrives (da5 and da6)

After starting FreeNAS, the 4 harddisks do not show up in Storage->Disks (only da5 and da6, the two system thumbdrives, are listed).

If I list all the harddisks through the shell however using
egrep 'da[0-9]|cd[0-9]' /var/run/dmesg.boot

I do see the four disks.

Code:

Even though they are SATA disks, they are listed as /dev/da0 - da3 (rather than ada0 - ada3) so I guess this has to do with them attached through the HBA330 controller.

Why am I not seeing the disks in the list?

Could this be related to this reported FreeBSD 11.3 bug?

What's all the noise about HBA's, and why can't I use a RAID controller?

This is relevant to FreeNAS and TrueNAS CORE. Some parts of it might also be relevant to Scale, but I don't really know how reliable the Linux drivers are. 1) An HBA is a Host Bus Adapter. This is a controller that allows SAS and SATA devices to be attached to, and communicate directly with...

According to https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...330-12gbps-hba-it-firmware.25498/#post-241057 the Dell HBA330 uses stock LSI, just the name of the card is altered.

"They also confirmed that the firmware for the HBA330 and 12Gbps HBA cards are just renamed LSI firmware and Bios files of the 9300/9311-8i."

So I guess I should be good in that regard? Why am I not seeing the disks then?

I just downgraded from FreeNAS 11.3 to 11.2 (did a fresh install that is) and in 11.2 I do get the disks listed. So I assume this is a bug in 11.3?

IT mode needed nonetheless.

@hervon the HBA330 is IT (the H330 would be IR)

Definitive Firmware Version for LSI SAS 9300-8i

Hi. I am building a new Freenas server for an offsite back up of our existing backups. In my previous builds I used and flashed older cards in pre UFI days. I just purchased an LSI SAS 9300-8i and I cant seem to find a definitive answer to what version of firmware I need to flash. I see a lot...

I suggest To make sure it is really flashed to it mode.
Edit: reading your post in the other thread you seem to have it mode enabled.
