Good afternoon to everybody.
I just built this NAS:
- Fractal 804
- MoBo Gigabyte B450 Aorus M
- AMD Ryzen 3700x
- 32GB RAM DDR4 3.200MHz Corsair Vengeance
- Bewinner PCIe card SATA SAS 8 port (exactly this --> https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07V47G4VB/)
- 1x 250MB SSD NVMe (I installed here OMV5)
- 3x 6TB HDD 3,5" (1x SAS, 2x SATA)
HDDs are directly connected to the SATA card by specific SAS or SATA cables.
PCI card's WebBIOS (LSI MegaRAID) detects all of the 3,5" physical disks, I did not build any virtual disk / RAID array because - if I'm not wrong - I'd like to build and manage RAID arrays in OMV (if needed, this tutorial shows how to do it with WebBIOS)
Issues
#1 - The NAS startup is very slow (a couple of minutes) because the MegaRAID BIOS tries (and fails) to detect virtual drives. Can I avoid this somehow?
#2 - Section "Disks" in OMV does not detect any of the 3,5" disks connected to che PCI card, so I can't wipe/mount them and I can't build RAID arrays also
Surely this happens because I'm a newbie...
Can you help me, please ?
