nemanin OP , to homelab in Next up: Struggles getting my HBA to see SAS drives (don't think it's 3.3v or 512 vs 520). What should I try?

On the 9300-16i, I have been seeing the connected drives under a ‘physical drives’ menu that appears if drives are connected… on the 9305 I did not…

Would you expect the drives to spin up on boot?

I’ll try booting into proxmox and running lshw on both cards tomorrow. Thanks for the route to test!

nemanin OP , to homelab in Next up: Struggles getting my HBA to see SAS drives (don't think it's 3.3v or 512 vs 520). What should I try?

Ok. Did a bunch more testing here tonight.

I have 2x 8tb SAS drives that have worked for several weeks now. Those show up in bios reliably regardless of which connector I use. So I think the HBA is working and the cables are good.

Of the 10x 10tb drives, 1 drive shows up reliably. It also seems to work on any connector I use. But it is the only drive the works.

Here is 8 of the 10 installed and only one showing in BIOS. I think the other 7 are not even spinning up.

An additional weird thing is that at least 1 other of the 10 drives did show up the first time I plugged it in from inside the xpenology VM. I did 'hot swap' that one in, but it then passed a SMART test. But since it passing the test and me pulling it, it hasn't worked again. I'm also not positive which drive it is because originally I wasn't expecting things to behave so weirdly, so I didn't start taking notes...

As another test, I got a hold of a 9305-16i to see if the drives would read on that. And while that card would show up in BIOS, none of the drives -- including the 8th that have always worked -- showed up or spun up at all! I wonder if that card is not compatible with my mobo?

Is it possible other BIOS settings are interfering?

Ah. Will trying to hit swap damage the drives? Or just won’t work?

nemanin OP , to Selfhosted in Next up: Struggles getting my HBA to see SAS drives (don't think it's 3.3v or 512 vs 520). What should I try?

Drives are hot-swappable with this HBA, right?

nemanin OP , to Selfhosted in NIC goes dark when Proxmox kernel loads after GPU install (works again if GPU removed)

Will give this a go! thanks!

One of the drives for reference:

Ok. Fair enough.

I'm still working on the first 2, but on the 3rd, yes there are a couple drives that are up and working on the card. 2x 8tb drives (also HGST).

nemanin OP , to Selfhosted in Next up: Struggles getting my HBA to see SAS drives (don't think it's 3.3v or 512 vs 520). What should I try?

They are SAS drives, not sata. Mobo does have SATA, but not SAS.

I do!

Thanks for the link!

nemanin OP , to Selfhosted in Next up in the Proxmox adventures: Why does my Rx590 show up as an RTX 2070 and how do I fix it?

Yah. Trying to make an Uber server.

Bunch of drives for a nas vm

3060 for a bit of a gaming pc cam for things like moonlight.

Rx590 is for a hackintosh vm to make local backups of my iCloud stuff.

And a unix vm to manage docker containers.

Also plan to put Plex in a LXC (I think that’s the term) on Proxmox so it can hardware decode using the igpu.

nemanin OP , to Selfhosted in Next up in the Proxmox adventures: Why does my Rx590 show up as an RTX 2070 and how do I fix it?

Welp. Seems I’m an idiot. I’m very much a Unix noob so assumed it was something that Unix I didn’t understand rather than check the physical card again.

I was definitely shipped an nvidia card, not the amd I bid on! So case opened with eBay!

Sorry for the dumb question. Thanks for the great help.

Stay tuned for my next dumb question. :)

nemanin OP , to Selfhosted in NIC goes dark when Proxmox kernel loads after GPU install (works again if GPU removed)

How do you do this? Idk what to even google, exactly.

nemanin OP , to Selfhosted in NIC goes dark when Proxmox kernel loads after GPU install (works again if GPU removed)

So in the end, the intel 1g NIC just worked, so I gave up for now on trying to get the 2.5g Broadcom working instead.

I might try to link aggregate later and use the 2.5g Broadcom and circle back on this.. but we’ll see.

I also got the second GPU installed and it shows up, too. But it’s an Rx590 and is showing as an RTX2070… so I’ll be making another post shortly!

Thanks for all the input!

nemanin OP , to Selfhosted in NIC goes dark when Proxmox kernel loads after GPU install (works again if GPU removed)

Ohhh. In that last line. I wasn’t even looking at that, I assumed the block above that was setting up the primary NIC…

I’ll see if changing that interface name does it…
