New Drives not showing

[Crazyplayer364]

I have now changed over to truenas for my main server os. I have installed it to the server but the drives that are in the server do not show in storage | disks.

Please can someone help to format the drives to show

Drives show in

Code:

camcontrol devlist

<HP RAID 0 OK> at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (da4,pass4)
<HP RAID 0 OK> at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (da5,pass5)
<HP RAID 0 OK> at scbus0 target 2 lun 0 (da6,pass6)
<HP RAID 0 OK> at scbus0 target 3 lun 0 (da7,pass7)
<HP RAID 0 OK> at scbus0 target 4 lun 0 (da0,pass0)
<HP RAID 0 OK> at scbus0 target 5 lun 0 (da1,pass1)
<HP RAID 0 OK> at scbus0 target 6 lun 0 (da3,pass3)
<HP RAID 0 OK> at scbus0 target 7 lun 0 (da2,pass2)

I have tried to run

Code:

gpart destroy -F /dev/da0

but get the error gpart: arg0 'da0': Invalid argument

Kind Regards

First off, a full hardware list and version of software would be helpful.

However, TrueNAS and ZFS do not support hardware RAID, (aka "HP RAID"). Even if you get it to work, potential data loss is in your future. See;

What's all the noise about HBAs, and why can't I use a RAID controller?

1) An HBA is a Host Bus Adapter. This is a controller that allows SAS and SATA devices to be attached to, and communicate directly with, a server. RAID controllers typically aggregate several disks into a Virtual Disk abstraction of some sort...

Hi thank you for the response,

I had this setup before with same items then moved to proxmox as main boot os with truenas VM

The servers Specs are

HP G7 DL380
48GB ECC RAM
8x 900GB SAS drives
Duel Intel Xeon CPU

Latest Version of truenas core

Thanks in advance

Their are further restrictions if using TrueNAS Core as a VM;

Basically you must pass through a HBA, (NOT a RAID controller), to the VM.

Hi sorry for the confusion.

The server is a truenas core bare metal server now

Great, then you only have to replace the HP RAID card with a HBA type. (I doubt the system board disk ports support SAS drives...)
