mathomas3 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I just picked up a AMCC 16 Port PCI-E RAID Controller With Battery BBU 9650SE-16ML... Cant say that I have seen this card here before... Could someone take a look at the specs and let me know if they think it will work... http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMCC-16-Port-PCI-E-RAID-Controller-With-Battery-BBU-9650SE-16ML-/142220992914?epid=666459515&hash=item211d082192:g:9LAAAOSwLOtYXCyr Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Quick search on the forums for 9650SE. Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 But there appears to be firmware for it..... Quote Link to comment
mathomas3 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 thanks for finding that out... time to do some more research Quote Link to comment
mathomas3 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 welp all... I was able to update the card... and it sees HDDs that are larger then 3tb... (my current largest is 5) so... that's a win... now... I just need to get unraid to see that card... advice? I am updating unraid first to see if that will correct the error... forward progress Quote Link to comment
mathomas3 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) the disk drives are MIA... I have attached my logs... and advice to what direction I should go in would greatly be accepted... this is my 2nd ever SAS controller... and what else I might need to change or configure... perhaps its related to drivers? but it's an old card... so... it should work... I should note... that the SAS card doesnt have the BIOS loaded into it... (but new firmware) I would assume that this means that the disks would be presented as a jbob to the OS... Would i need to load a BIOS onto the card? diag.txt Edited September 28, 2017 by mathomas3 Quote Link to comment
mathomas3 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 after some reading... the msg 3ware BIOS not loaded... is a mute point... that shouldnt hinder the operation of unraid communicating with this card... Help! -__- Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Controller is detected and a driver loaded, but don't see any attempt to find devices: Sep 27 18:38:37 Tower kernel: 3w-9xxx: scsi1: AEN: INFO (0x04:0x0053): Battery capacity test is overdue:. Sep 27 18:38:37 Tower kernel: 3w-9xxx: scsi1: Found a 3ware 9000 Storage Controller at 0xfe520000, IRQ: 43.

No idea why it doesn't work, but IMO you should have bough a known supported controller, like an LSI. Quote Link to comment

tstor Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Did you check the export JBOD setting? Details are in my reply to your other post: BTW the 9650SE is a SATA only, not a SAS controller. Quote Link to comment
