Running FreeNAS-11.3-U3. Hoping to upgrade to TrueNAS after these disk replacements.
I’ve got a DS4486 disk shelf with 12 x WD Red SATA drives. Dell R710 with an LSI SAS9200-16e HBA. When setting it up originally FreeNAS couldn’t get any info on the drives if they weren’t in pool yet. As soon as the drives were used the serial, model, and size would populate in the web UI (if values were present before being used they would be values from a previous device that was either connected to the disk shelf or FreeNAS. Not sure exactly where that info was coming from). I also can’t run SMART tests with this disk shelf, but that seems to be a common problem with SAS to SATA.
With all that said, I’m able to use it (although replacing a drive can be a little tricky because the serial isn’t readable until it’s already started the replacement process).
Where I’m running into an wall now is I just bought some SAS drives and I can’t do anything with them in FreeNAS. It can see the devices, but no info, I can’t wipe them or use them to replace another drive.
I get this error in the web UI:
I also tried using sg_format in the cli and got this:
Do you think it could be a firmware issue or misconfiguration in FreeNAS? From what I’ve read, it seems like most this stuff it plug-and-play in FreeNAS.
