My first diagnostics file was taken at this point, the second file was taken after I had taped over certain contacts on the cards Unfortunatley I don't have an old BIOS motherboard as I understand the flashing proceedure woukd be easier without having to use UEFI shell

I read on another guide that using these commands the SAS card addresses are actually preserved, and so the SAS address does not need to be reprogrammed. Thereafter I run the following commands using the same USB stick, but using the latest version of the DELL firmware. This I understand flashed the cards to P20, and I started having problems which I assumed were due to the firmware Sas2flash_p19.efi -o -sasadd 500xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sas2flash.efi -o -f 6GBPSAS.FW Reboot and return to UEFI shell. Reboot into UEFI shell and run the following commands: Run the following commands in the DOS prompt Thanks for your replies, I initally followed the instructions at As I have now flashed LSI firmware over DELL firmware, can I wipe the card clean again and just load DELL firmware instead? The array is now behaving normally, I can see all disks and a parity check is now running.Д¬learly it looks like the DELL cards are at fault, but don't know the next course of action and would welcome any advice. In desperation I have removed the DELL cards for the time being, and have put back in the Supermicro cards. Because of the hard reset, the array wants to carry out a parity check too, but the array was showing the same problems

I've done a manual hard reboot twice now, and checked all cables and connections to the cards and 5x3 cages too. I looked at the syslog and could not see any items in red or any immediately obvious problems. However the array is working fine using the old cards and new cables, so I assume that the cables are OK Just to complicate matters I also replaced all 5 SFF8087 to SATA forward cables at the same time. I saw a message stating the disks were being unmounted then it quickly changed to array started again.ДЇurthermore after 5 mins the array would lock up with no access to the GUI or server shares, also network connectivity stopped with the LED on the network interface card not being lit. The array booted but 1 disk was missing, and on clicking stop a number of times I was not able to stop the array. I thereafter replaced 2 AOC-SASLP-MV8 cards with new DELL cards using x8 slots, leaving 1 Supermicro card in the x4 slot.

After wiping the old firmware using megarec.exe -cleanflash 0, there were problems writing DELL and LSI firmware using sas2flash.efi -o -f 6GBPSAS.FW and sas2flash.efi -o -f 2118it.bin sometimes with messages saying that the adapter had not reset.ДЇor both cards I tried to install firmware, only for it to fail, then wiping the card again and then trying to load firmware again, eventually to managed to follow the procedure and get both cards running LSI firmware successfully. I have had a huge amount of problems trying to flash both DELL and LSI firmware. I flashed the DELL cards using the procedure here using the UEFI procedure (unfortunately I don't have an old fashioned BIOS motherboard)

Also my motherboard has only 2 x16 slots (which work at x8), the third x 16 slot is only x4

I am looking move the cache disks to 2 motherboard ports that support 6Gps. My plan was to purchase 2 DELL PERC H310 cards to replace 2 AOC-SALP-MV8 cards, leaving just the cache disks on 1 AOC-SASLP-MV8 card for the time being. And also I am getting slow 60MBs parity checks too. I am running 6.2.4 on a ASUS M5A99X EVO motherboard with 3 AOC-SASLP-MV8 cards (14 data disks, 2 parity disks and 2 Cache disks (in BTRFS Raid1)), which have never stuck me as 100% reliable, I have had a number of disks go missing over time, despite cables proving OK. Let me apologise first for the cardinal sin of not having a diagnostics file
