SATA SSD is not recognized lsblk

[user1907324]

Hi,

i have a test server with 2 M.2 256GB. The proxmox is installed on these SSDs. There are also 4x 1TB SSD SATA disks which i can't access by proxmox v8. lsblk gives me the following output:

Anyone has an idea how to integrate these SATA 4TB SSDs?

 

[Lukas Wagner]

Hello,

do you see anything noteworthy in the system logs? Are these 4 disks attached to a RAID controller?

 

[leesteken]

Is the controller detected? Which driver is active for that controller? Please show the output of lspci -nnk.

 

[user1907324]

see the lscpci report attached. I can't see anything noteworthy attached in den logs. i dont know if the ssds are attached to a raid controller.

 

[user1907324]

Hi, has anybody an idea?

 

[user1907324]

anyone?

 

[leesteken]

I have no idea as there appear to be several drive controllers. Maybe power or data cables are not connected? Maybe something is physically broken? Maybe the specific controller you connected them to is broken or disabled?

Hi user 19...

disks which i can't access by proxmox v8

But you can access them in Proxmox 7.4 or another OS?

i dont know if the ssds are attached to a raid controller.

There is a way to find out of course... Is the testserver in a datacenter near you?

 

[user1907324]

But you can access them in Proxmox 7.4 or another OS?

I didn't test proxmox os 7.4, i will check this later.

There is a way to find out of course... Is the testserver in a datacenter near you?

The server is physically available in our testlab. The SSDs are inside the SATA slots.

Is the testlab near you? I would go there and have a look how (and whether) they are connected!

Proxmox is "just Debian", which is "just Linux". There is no magic in Proxmox preventing any device being visible.

 

[user1907324]

Yeah, the testlab is near me. They are connected via SATA slots as mentioned.

i found the raid controller in the data sheet:

Broadcom MegaRAID 9361-4i SAS-SATA

 

[leesteken]

i found the raid controller in the data sheet:

Broadcom MegaRAID 9361-4i SAS-SATA

e3:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS-3 3108 [Invader] [1000:005d] (rev 02) Subsystem: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS 9361-4i [1000:9363] Kernel driver in use: megaraid_sas Kernel modules: megaraid_sas
It is found by Proxmox and a driver is loaded. Maybe you can find out if others have had issues with this device or this driver?
Can you access the settings of the controller during system POST (before Proxmox boots)? Does it then show anything about connected drives?

 

[_gabriel]

you need to create volume from the hw raid in first place.
it's not a Proxmox issue : this is the basis, needed from any OS !

 

[user1907324]

thanks, i can't access the raid controller by pressing ctrl+H, there is no possibility to access it before the proxmox os boot..

 

[leesteken]

Either don't connect the drives to a RAID controller or setup the RAID controller (initialize the RAID or select a mode). How to configure it is controller specific (and not related to Proxmox). Maybe you can find a manual for it? Or maybe there is a system manual, or manufacturer support, for your server?

 

[user1907324]

The Raid Controller management is now integrated in the mainboard bios. This menu entry wasn't found by me. Once created in this menu. Everything works fine. Thank you.
