HBA Failure - ZFS Rocks The Recovery!!

[Scharbag]

Just had one of my two LSI 9211-8i cards fail last night - hard crash while scrubbing. Moved a SAS cable around to put all my drives onto the remaining HBA and blammo, she booted right up without any errors at all. Ordered a spare from ebay JIC ($45).

Once again, TrueNAS and ZFS is shown to be reliable and resilient.

Thank you TrueNAS team.

Cheers,

Did it take down the whole system or did the controller just disappear?

She crashed hard and just gave a handshake error. Would not even boot when I tried. Once I removed the one card from pass through, it booted fine and was missing my production pool. Sucks that it was a hard crash but awesome that it was a simple fix.
