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!
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?
Drives are hot-swappable with this HBA, right?
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).
They are SAS drives, not sata. Mobo does have SATA, but not SAS.
I do!
Thanks for the link!
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.
Me again. The guy with the NIC problem from before.
I installed the Rx590 and it shows up in lspci as an RTX 2070. I was hoping it was just Proxmox not having drivers or something, but when I pass it into the Hackintosh it's meant for, it shows as NVIDIA there too:
Now I did get the Rx590 off eBay, but I'm it was listed as and looks like this: https://www.powercolor.com/product?id=1551768831
So I think it is actually a Rx590.
This is lspci. 01:00.0 is a RTX 3060. 03:00.0 is the Rx590.

Like the title says. I installed a GPU, everything posts and boots fine. The lights on the Ethernet port are lit up and will stay lit up indefinitely (I assume) if I leave it at the kernel select screen.
But as soon as I load a kernel, the lights go dark. It also is not shown as an active client on my gateway, so it’s not working at all.
I’ve tried lots of commands I’ve found to force it up. It looks to me like the NIC assigned to vmbr0 is correct. Etc. I just can’t get it to work.
If I remove the GPU, it immediately works again. NIC stays up after the kernel loads and I can access the web UI as normal.

I’m not a lawyer, but if I wasn’t planning to do anything related to the other ‘dedsec’, I wouldn’t even consider what the owner of that dedsec would think.
Businesses have the same name ALL THE TIME.
Unless you’re trying to piggyback on or undermine that other dedsec, I, the non-lawyer, can’t imagine how they’d have any standing to raise a concern.
Whatever you’re doing must have led you to the dedsec name (I assume it’s a website for dog-eat-dog security), there’s just no way in my (non-lawyer) mind that EA or Ubisoft has any right to stop you from saving dogs from being eaten.
I (the non-lawyer) would 100% not pay a lawyer for their opinion on this.
