I have a Dell R720xd, and I decided to add an MD1200 shelf for expansion, so I got it all together and installed an LSI 9207-8e controller with IT mode and the current P20 firmware. When I first setup the array I didn't have the second SAS cable, so I just set it up single path and figured I would add the second cable when I got it. Now I am finally to that point.
So I add the second cable and boot up TrueNAS 12.0-U2.1,and looking at the pool and storage I have assigned it looks good (see attached Dell-mpath1). The I go look under storage/disks, and I don't see the drives that show in the storage pool, but I now see the drives as new and unassigned in this section (see attached Dell-mpath2).
So it thinks the same disks are two different devices with the second SAS cable attached. I found the section on setting up multipath, and tried via shell to establish the links, it rejects it:
It does this on any disk that I try. Is there some way to fix this, or do I just have to run single ended as it's how I set it up to start??
I am for sure scratching my head, so would appreciate any help..
