SED Error? Disk unavailable? Is this an issue?

[IonutZ]

Hey there,

Stack is TrueNas latest (BlueFin) running on ESXi8 on a Dell PowerEdge R740. I have an LSI Avago HBA passed through from ESXi to TrueNas (this is a Perc H810 flashed to IT). HBA ports are connected to both controllers on an MD1200 (LFF with 12 SAS 3TB drives). Drives have around 44k POH. I don't have SED configured. I recently moved from an R720 to the R740, migrated hypervisor from ESXi7 to ESXi8 and migrated the VM using vMotion (no issues).

For some reason when I go under Storage I see the drives, but for example in the picture below, sdb shows up with "SED Password: Error" and "Disk is unavailable". Not sure whether the issue is that Disk is unavailable or there is something wrong with SED, but the prior restart, I saw both sda and sdi exhibit the same thing (sda and sdi are not even assigned device names in this boot).

Is this something I should worry about or not? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I don't know how to debug this further.

Thank you for your time!

No idea about this; I avoid SED like the plague because it is finicky. I did notice:

RAID5 on LSI 9750 on 4x WD Black 2TB 7200
RAID5 on LSI 9750 on 4x old hdds 1TB 7200

Please note that using a 3Ware controller is risky and you absolutely must make sure you've disabled the BBU and any caching on it. Also see:

What's all the noise about HBAs, and why can't I use a RAID controller?

1) An HBA is a Host Bus Adapter. This is a controller that allows SAS and SATA devices to be attached to, and communicate directly with, a server. RAID controllers typically aggregate several disks into a Virtual Disk abstraction of some sort...

I appreciate the response but the signature is outdated 3ware has found the recycling plant a long time ago lol.

I don't have SED turned on, it's just what I saw in the Storage page of TrueNas.

Yeah I was a bit puzzled by that. LSI really murdered the 3Ware product line.

Is it possible that the drive had ever been configured for SED? I believe that there's some sort of difference between disabling SED and removing the password.
