Hello I have an issue and I am kicking myself. Anyways I bought a server case that had hot swap bays and extra space for additional drives for future if needed. I moved everything over and got it up and running. Thought everything was all good and then blam red blinking light for critical. My volume is in a degraded state. The good thing is I run a raid Z 2 and only 1 of the drives doesnt detect and sometimes its not the same drive it varies? Here are some details.
Supermicro Motherboard X10SLL-F
32 GB ECC DDR3 Memory
(7) 2 TB WD RED I also run a raid controller I forgot exactly which one but its one recommended.
my os is installed on a small SSD.
The new case has cages (holds 4 3.5 in drives). The cage is powered by a 4 pin molex and the data is handled by 4 sata ports.
So I was thinking maybe one of the bays is bad or the whole cage. So I powered everything down and moved it to a different cage. Still not detected...hmmm. So I powered down again and removed and reinserted. When I booted up the drive is now detected but now a drive in the other cage that was previous good is now not detected??? Any ideas whats happening and maybe help me through fixing this? I do have an extra brand new drive as well.
