Hello everyone. I have a Dell R720XD with a Perc Mini H710 mini flashed to IT mode and an LSI SAS9207-8e also in IT mode. Both cards running on P20 firmware.
The LSI SAS9207-8e is connected to a netapp ds4243 JBOD. Made a 36 drive pool and all is working fine however, when it comes to rebooting the R720XD, is when the fun starts… So almost every single time, after a reboot, for some reason truenas is not able to properly mount the drives in the JBOD. I get flooded with alerts that most of the drives are unhealthy, and are therefore not mounted. To rectify the issue, I have to restart the server an additional 5-20 times until the pool miraculously mounts properly again which is a real headache...
I have so far only seen 1 thread with someone else having the same issue on core https://www.truenas.com/community/t...boot-shutdown-can-get-it-back-but-help.80304/
So far I have tried going back and forth from the bluefin rc1 release and the stable release to no avail. I have also reflashed both cards in case of a bad flash but the issue persists. Appreciate the help/insight!
Update: Tested the disk shelf on a brand new server build (E-2356G Xeon, Asus P12-RE motherboard, 64GB ECC UDIMM, & SAS9217-4i4e) and the issue still persists even on the new hardware. However. I took core for a spin and the issue is not present there. Rebooted the server multiple times and the pool was still there every time. So this does show some indication of a software problem. Might cut my losses here and return the disk shelf in favor of a bigger chassis to directly attach all my drives since core does not cover all my needs unfortunately.
