I have an IBM M1115 that I got off ebay, flashed to a LSI 9211-8i that has been working well for over a year now, but recently may have started having problems. I've been in the process of moving so my server has been off for quite some time. I started it up today with hopes of getting it up and running but things have not gone well.
I got endless scrolling errors the first time I booted it, so I hit power and started over (they were scrolling so fast and it looked like gibberish so I can't tell you what it was all about). Second time it mostly booted but hung while loading a module (unfortunately I cannot remember which one). Third time was a charm, it started and stayed up but occasionally had some output that looked like a device issue, specifically with /dev/da4, but it flashed by so fast I couldn't read it. I listed the devices and the disks it listed were out of their usual order. This repeated a few times so suspecting my HBA I switched the SAS port I was using and that seems to be working, disks are showing up in their usual grouping.
I'm wondering if the HBA is about to kick the bucket. Is there anything I can do to test this? Or should I just bite the bullet and get a new one immediately?
Specs: supermicro x10sll-f, Intel Xeon 1231V3, 32GB ECC RAM, IBM 1115/9211-8i, 4 HGST 4TB, 2x Mushkin 16GB boot drives
