No disk found

[domo]

Hello, I have installed Freenas 9.10-release and from the GUI i can't see any disk, from the shell, on the contrary I can see all disks. I am new in Freenas, where can be the problem?
Thank you

Hardware?

 

[Sakuru]

Please post the full specs of your system: http://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/forum-rules.22553/#post-134570/
Also, make sure to read through the manual: http://doc.freenas.org/9.10/freenas.html

Aside from the fact that the forum rules (which you said you read and agreed to when you joined last week) require it, the reason I'm asking about your hardware is that I suspect you have an incompatible disk controller involved. Ordinarily, your disks should have disk device identifiers (ada0, da0, etc.) assigned; yours don't.

Hello, the hardware is a DELL r730xd and the disk controller is PERC H330 RAID Controller, the Freenas OS is installed in one of the disks that are attached to this controller. In the first installation i had configuread all disks as RAID0, in that configuration, the disks was seen from the GUI interface. After i changed the controller configuration, from RAID to HBA mode and reinstalled the freenas OS and the disks was disapeared from the gui interface. I don't understand why but the boot disk is seen correctly and the OS start properly.

 

[Sakuru]

Yeah, it's probably the RAID controller. You're going to want a proper HBA: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/hardware-recommendations-read-this-first.23069/
The IBM M1015 is the favorite around here.

Very astute observation. I was wondering who would find that first. Congrats! You win the forums for today! :D

 

[domo]

Thank you Sakuru, I will buy the controller that you suggest me so i do a test in my system.

 

[domo]

Solved,
I have set the PERC H330 in HBA mode, disabled the cache and imported the disks as NORAID, now the performance are great. So i can say that the PERC is usable in freenas architecture.

Bumping this thread - it looks like the same HW I am using.

 

[Alan McKay]

So I go into my controller setttings and see that it is in RAID mode and I can change it to HBA.

But from what I've read elsewhere in these forums, that means I am likely to lose all existing data right?

So before doing that I need to have a plan to copy the data out. Then make the change, redo the array, and copy it back in.

Right?

Correct
