TrueNAS not seeing disks (HBA)

Hi, I'm brand new to TrueNAS and I'm having trouble where it's not showing my disks in the disk shelf with a HBA pci passthrough card.

I've read through various posts in here about other users having the same issue and I've tried a few things but I still can't seem to get it working. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's the details of the setup

Server: HP dl380p Gen8
Shelf: EMC KTN-STL3 VNX DAE 15*3.5"
PCI-E: Dell 6GB/s PCIE 4 port Quad SAS HBA I/O


TrueNAS installed in a VM on ESXi
- (0000:0b:00.0) Avago (LSI Logic) Avago (LSI) Logic Fusion-MPT 6GSAS SAS2308_2 PCI-Express - Passthrough
- (0000:09:00.0) Avago (LSI Logic) Avago (LSI) Logic Fusion-MPT 6GSAS SAS2308_2 PCI-Express - Passthrough

TrueNAS VM - both PCI devices have been added

OK, so I think your problem is that none of the disks are reporting back their serial numbers... what drives are they?

I have
- a bunch of Exos X16 10TB Enterprise
And i've also tried it with a WD Green 2TB and a WD Black 1TB drives alone

During the server boot, I found I was getting a red screen NMI error when trying to enter the Avagos SAS setup (ctrl-c).
I came across a blog post about HP DL380e (I have a DL380p) Gen 8 - regarding the SAS HBA controller firmware version 7.39.02 has this issue for the HPs. The solution was to downgrade to 7.39.00

NMI-Gen80 SAS HBA Blog Post

Note that the link to the HP site from that post didn't give me the proper version, but I found the proper 7.39.00 mtpsas2.rom here

Forum Post with Proper ROM file

I was able to sas2flash with the proper rom file from a TrueNAS shell. It didn't work initially, but realized that even tho there's 1 physical card, it shows as 2 PCI adapters

sas2flash -o -b mptsas2.rom
sas2flash -c 1 -o -b mptsas2.rom

After rebooting the server, it did show
Avago Technologies MPT SAS2 BIOS
MPT2BIOS-7.39.00.00 (2014.09.18)

and I was able to get into the Avagos Config Utility without the NMI Red Screen of Death.

It shows
AdapterPCI BusPCI DevPCI FncPCI SlotFW RevisionStatusBoot Order
SAS9206-16E090000FF20.00.07.00-ITEnabled0
SAS9206-16E0B0000FF17.85.00.00-ITEnabled1

At this point, I think it may be a hardware issue, anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks!

Figured it out, it was the EMC SATA Interposers that was the problem. Swapped with different interposers and now all the drives are visible.

Thanks!

I am running into this same issue with disks not getting detected. What is the part number of the interposers that worked for you?
