I just built two systems to use as storage servers. One of them went off without a hitch. The other one when I go to setup the SW raid finds 100's of device identifiers at the bottom of the screen but never presents any at the top of the screen to make a raid from. Is there a way to exclude all of the bogus devices so the valid ones come up to be used?
Is this local storage, or accessed from a HBA?
maybe if you can give us some screenshots it may help.
It is local storage. Just a stack of 6 SSD Drives connected to the sata bus. When I go into the console Hardware list screen they are seen just fine. Everything is. It's just in the gui that things don't seem to be right.
Ill grab some screenshots and upload them.
It says I can't add attachments.. How do I upload images to the post?
just link it to photobucket or something

There you are.. The bogus devices are causing fake IO errors. When I open the SW Raid screen the screen where you configure and select just spins. Is there any othee way to do it besides the gui?
Interesting....
Can you send me the logs to presales at open-e dot com
And what is the SATA controller?

By the way. It is all local storage in the server.
Did my post with the screenshots make it to the forum? It looked like it had but then there was nothing here. Short messages always seem to make it though.
They are connected to the motherboards X79 Chipset SATA controller. I have another box setup the same way and it is functioning fine. Slightly different motherboard but same chipset.
Anyway you can send that to pre sales, so that we can look at it?
Yep.. That was my intention.. Unfortunately I was working from home and we lost power and internet for 5 hours. I am gathering the data now and will be sending it along shortly.
Thanks
We unfortunately continued to have issues with internet last night. This morning after I woke up I had an epiphany. Turns out that the fiber channel cards in the server were recycled out of a vmware vsphere server that had like 200 LUNS exported to it before. They were still being sent to those WWN's so the DSS was picking them up. I removed the WWN from the 3par server exports and voila. Its all working like it should. :) I had assumed if the qlogic cards were set as targets they would not honor any exports from another SAN. I guess not.
I kinda figured this was the case, particularly if the WWN are in a public group ;)
Glad ya got it figured out.
