I have a S2600CP board (latest firmware, 2.05.004) in a Intel P4308XXMHGC Case.
There are 6 WD 600GB VelociRaptor *SATA* drives in the two Hotswap Disk enclosures, They are connected via two MiniSAS->4 SATA cables to the 8 Blue SATA/SAS ports.
Op.Sys. I Proxmox 3.4 (Debian Wheezy), kernel 3.10
The first four drives are correctly detected and usable, but the next two drives, which are on Blue ports 5 & 6 are not seen at all. Have tried all controller modes (RSTe, ESRT2).
It was my understanding that in SATA mode all 8 ports were available
Have put in a C600 upgrade key (RKSATA8) but that made no difference. However the BIOS showed no Comtroller Modules installed, so maybe there is a problem there.
Any suggestions?
thanks - Lindsay.
