Another Atlas (VM) Clone - No drives showing [Solved]

Hi All

Its taken a while, but I have finally got the serverpower up and running.

I have followed the information given here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14695.0

I have a SM X9SCM motherboard with a LSI (IBM) M1015 SAS card.

Using ESXi5 and I have the LSI card set for passthrough.

I have started UnRaid and can log in via the web interface, but there are no drives available.

This is my first unRaid attempt so I dont really know what I am doing yet.

Here is the log

Dec 26 11:30:56 Tower emhttp: shcmd (33): modprobe md-mod super=/boot/config/super.dat slots=3 |& logger

assuming you have everything passed through correctly you should be good to go.

The error you posted means that your super.dat file can't be read.  That could be because it is corrupt.  rename it to super.dat.old and reassign your drives.

>> Dec 26 11:30:56 Tower kernel: read_file: error 2 opening /boot/config/super.dat

error 2 is probably ENOENT and that equates to

./asm-generic/errno-base.h:#define      ENOENT           2      /* No such file or directory */

which means the file does not exist or it's unreadable.

I think this error is before it's read and considered corrupt. It cannot even open it, so it may not exist or the /boot path is not mounted correctly.

The file probably needs to be recreated.

I would recreate it as suggested

then do an  ls -l /boot/config/super.dat to insure it was created and the mtime updates.

Thanks guys

The file super.dat does not exist in the directory specified.

How do I re-assign the drives if none are showing up?

Does the M1015 need to be re-flashed to get it to work in UnRaid.  There is a thread about the different controllers, and this particular card is listed, but it does not say (or I have missed it) why it needs to be done.  Could that be the root of my problems?

Mick

Reflashed the M1015 using the files on the forum and my drives showed up fine

Thanks for updating us on this.  I had completely forgottent that SATA controller card needed to be flashed.
