  • Got this iXsystems server beeping a loud beep

    From The Doctor@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 1 15:49:42 2024
    Running FreeBSD 14.1 .

    I saw a red light of the leftmost drive (HW RAID Mirror) .

    I pulled the drive and noise did not go away.

    Just need to know how to identify the HW controller and
    the MB to get you more information.

    Review /var/run/dmesg.boot and locate the RAID controller there.
    It will probably show up as a unit for one of the device drivers
    listed by

    % apropos -s 4 raid
    aac(4) - Adaptec AdvancedRAID Controller driver
    aacraid(4) - Adaptec AACRAID Controller driver
    amr(4) - MegaRAID SCSI/ATA/SATA RAID driver
    arcmsr(4) - Areca RAID Controller driver
    hpt27xx(4) - HighPoint RocketRAID 27xx SAS 6Gb/s HBA card driver
    hptiop(4) - HighPoint RocketRAID 3xxx/4xxx device driver
    hptmv(4) - HighPoint RocketRAID 182x device driver
    hptrr, rr232x(4) - HighPoint RocketRAID device driver
    iir(4) - Intel Integrated RAID controller and ICP Vortex driver
    ips(4) - IBM/Adaptec ServeRAID controller driver
    mfi, mfi_linux, mfip(4) - LSI MegaRAID SAS driver
    mlx(4) - Mylex DAC-family RAID driver
    mly(4) - Mylex AcceleRAID/eXtremeRAID family driver
    mrsas(4) - LSI MegaRAID 6Gb/s and 12Gb/s SAS+SATA RAID controller driver
    twa(4) - 3ware 9000/9500/9550/9650 series SATA RAID controllers driver
    twe(4) - 3ware 5000/6000/7000/8000 series PATA/SATA RAID adapter driver
    tws(4) - 3ware 9750 SATA+SAS 6Gb/s RAID controller card driver

    Review the appropriate driver man page's SEE ALSO section to find a hint
    for userland interface for the controller. For example, mfi(4) will
    point you to mfiutil(8), and the latter has a subcommand to turn off the
    alarm.

    For identifying your motherboard, I recommend dmidecode(8) -- that's
    available as a port for FreeBSD.

    Lastly, I am a bit suprised that iXsystems would sell you a system with
    a HW RAID controller. I thought they were focussed on ZFS, on top of
    HBAs / IT-mode controllers.

    Why would the "noise go away" of you pull the disc? That beep is
    supposed to tell you that there are disks missing - either because they
    failed or someone removed them.
