We have a very odd problem: -
AIC - SB405-VL server barebone
2x PM883 240Gb drives in mirror for system on the mainboard SATA controller
1x Broadcom - HBA-9500-8i 05-50134-01
256Gb of RAM
2 x 4216 Xeon Silver Scalable
97 x Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC560 0F38785 20 TB Hard Drive -
3 x PM1643A 3.8TB SSDs
11 x 8 RAIDz vdevs
1 x SSD in cahce
2 x SS in Log.
Whenever we provision the pool to be larger than 1Pib, on reboot the UEFI drive scan process hangs if the 2x 240Gb drives are present. The system SSDs not being present boot completes fine, and drives are visible on the HBA.
If we blank the data drive tables, the unit boots fine and the original truenas install is present with no issues except missing data.
If we add the SSD drives to the backplane the unit boots.
We're currently assuming that the HBA is at fault? But we've never seen no heard of anything like this before?
Does anyone have any ideas?
