Hi! I recently purchases an LSI 9305-16e and installed it into my Z420 Workstation. The card it attached to my SC846 JBOD and the JBOD. I have a couple other HBAs installed in the system but this is the only 9305-16e.

It seems like the card is detected? There are a couple of drives in the JBOD but neither of them are showing in the GUI.

lspci finds it. 04:...
Code:
admin@truenas[~]$ lspci | grep SAS
03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS3008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 (rev 02)
04:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS3216 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 (rev 01)
05:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS2116 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Meteor] (rev 02)


sas3flash is showing the card (Num 2)

Code:
        
admin@truenas[~]$ sudo sas3flash -listall

I think the jbod is being detected but the dmesg output is a little confusing.

Try sas3ircu 1 display | grep -A6 'Enclosure information' to see which enclosures it can see.

sas3ircu with no parameters will give you usage information as well.
For the first command
Code:
admin@truenas[~]$ sudo sas3ircu 1 display | grep -A6 'Enclosure information'
Enclosure information
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Enclosure#                              : 1
  Logical ID                              : 500062b2:04634e00
  Numslots                                : 16
  StartSlot                               : 0
  Enclosure#                              : 2


Here is the full output.
Code:

Typo in my OP, if relevent the JBOD is a CSE-847 with BPN-SAS3-846EL1 (front) and BPN-SAS3-826EL1 (rear).
