Background (reading is optional)... So, I built a little 50T TrueNas Core. It is backup storage and it worked well. So, ups failure with bonus surge. So fried HBA - but also suspect it of being a knockoff. Will find that out after holidays. Rerouted backups to another device. Without the HBA, was able to reinstall OS as a test and it was fine-ish but of course didn't have the Storage Pools.
Got new Respectable HBA of same type. HBA can see drives. Reinstalled for reals, including formatting os drive. Also, I'm a baby in ZFS land, so I only understand words with less than 3 syllables.
Problem (other than inexperience with sprinkles of stupid) The new installation can see the old pools, but if I try to import pools, it says they are corrupt (duh!) and refuses. If I try to delete the pools with zpool, it says it can't find them. I don't need the prior contents at all. Would be just fine with initializing drives. The only way I know of to do it is through the HBA and that would take about 6 days. Guess I need to add lazy to my fault list.
The OS sees those pools as empty drives instead of pools so I can't just pretend that those pools don't exist. It does not see the drives as drives. Both pools were multi-drive - one zfs mirror and one 4 drive zfs as zfs 1.
Hardware Asrock rack x470d4u2-2t, AMD 3700x, 32GB Ecc ram, 2 nvme drives (1 os, 1 cache), 1 SSD - jail.
Supermicro LSI 9300-8i with 4 ports sas3 drives and two ports sata drives
OS version TrueNAS CORE 12.0-U1
