disk not found in PowerEdge R720

[johnyoungatwork]

I am using the latest ShredOS version v2024.02.2_26.0_x86-64_0.37 [ShredOS .img x86_64bit for USB Vanilla] to erase harddisks configured in RAID 1 and RAID 10. I added the "nomodeset noapic" to the /boot/grub.cfg and /EFI/boot/grub.cfg. The raid controller is Dell PERC H710P Mini and the raid bus controller is Broadcom/ LSI MegaRaid SAS 2208.

When I am booting the ShredOS, I see the following message:

Booting the kernel (entry_offset:)
Cant locate firmware cbfw-3.2.5.1.bin
Cant locate firmware cbfw-3.2.5.1.bin
Disabling IRQ #15

After booted to the GUI, only the ShredOS USB can be found under the "disks and partitions" section.
Switched to Alt + F3, the following messages were shown:

Any hints on what I am missing?

Thanks in advance!

I would think the missing firmware file might have something to do with it. Can you post the output of lspci -k -nn. I want to check the controller ID. I'm having a bit of trouble locating that firmware in buildroot. Thanks.

What drives have you got in this system, fibre channel, SAS or SATA?

[PartialVolume]

I removed a qlogic fibre channel driver from the latest version of ShredOS. Can you try the previous version of ShredOS and see if that recognises the drives. Just so I can rule that out as the problem.

All of the hard disks are SAS.

I removed a qlogic fibre channel driver from the latest version of ShredOS. Can you try the previous version of ShredOS and see if that recognises the drives. Just so I can rule that out as the problem.

Originally I tried the version v2023.08.2_25_x86-64_0.35 [ShredOS .img x86_64bit for USB Vanilla DRM], having the same issue, then I tried the latest version v2024.02.2_26.0_x86-64_0.37. I upgraded the firmware version shortly before using ShredOS, could it be the reason?

[PartialVolume]

The firmware for the bios? I don't know. I think the most likely reason at the moment is the missing cbfw-3.2.5.1.bin firmware file which is for QLogic Infiniband, SCSI, Fibre Channel/FCoE adapters and Converged Network Adapters supported by the bfa, bna, ip_iband, qed, qla1280 and qla2xxx drivers according to Debian.

If this file is missing from buildroot I can still download it from Debian and manually incorporate into ShredOS. I think I would also enable the qlogic driver I disabled last time. The reason I disabled it was to get rid of the benign warning it showed at boot time but maybe it's needed for this controller.

The Poweredge R720 was released 2012 so it's not like it's new hardware that drivers have not been written for yet.

No promises as to when I might be able to do this as I'm really busy at the moment. Are you hanging onto this R720 for a while, i.e will it still be available to test in a week or two?

[johnyoungatwork]

Yes, I upgraded the firmware for the BIOS. The R720 is always available for testing, just take your time. Thank you so much for the help and I am looking forward to your news!

These are all FC devices. However the PERCH710 is a RAID controller so not controlled by the FC driver. In other words the QLogic driver that was removed shouldn't be the culprit and doesn't need to be added back. I would think a possibly missing megaraid driver needs to be added to buildroot since the H710 is based on the LSI MegaRaid SAS 2208.

@Firminator megaraid_sas has been installed since v2020.05.014_x86-64_0.31.

Regarding the message that appears during boot:

Cant locate firmware cbfw-3.2.5.1.bin
Cant locate firmware cbfw-3.2.5.1.bin

Seems to be for the Qlogic BR series cards which is for FC and NIC.

@johnyoungatwork does seem to have fibre channel in this system, hence why it's probably complaining about the missing firmware. However that doesn't explain why we are not seeing SAS, unless the raid controller is not operating in HBA mode.

@johnyoungatwork does state the SAS are configured as RAID 1 and 10 though, so maybe not in HBA mode.

@johnyoungatwork Can you switch the raid controller to HBA mode?
