10th NVMe Drive Missing

Open ghost opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Trying to install AlmaLinux 8 on a Dell R640 equipped with 10 x 7.68TB NVMe U.2 drives. All 10 show up in iDrac storage inventory so they're recognized, but only 9 show up in AlmaLinux install (via IPMI). Curious why and if there's a fix?

Hello!

Are all of the drives the same model? Are any of the drives hooked up to a RAID controller? Do they show up in AlmaLinux 9 or CentOS Stream?

Hello,

Yes, all 10 drives are exact same models. The RAID is a pass-thru type:

Dell HBA330 Mini (Embedded)

I have not AlmaLinux 9, only 8 as the software I'm going to install does not support 9 yet, nor stream.

Would it be possible for you to see if all of the drives show up in AlmaLinux 9/CentOS Stream to see if this is only affecting AlmaLinux 8 or if it's a broader issue?

Could you also ensure you're running the latest firmware for the RAID controller and let me know if that resolves the issue?

I tried AlmaLinux 9, same issue. I tried Centos 9 stream, same issue as well. Only 9 drives show up out of the 10 NVMe drives.
