Replace disk showing "-"instead of disk

[smokin5s]

Hello, I am trying to replace hard drives with larger drives. I have been able to successfully replace 2 drives but on my 3rd drive, there is no disk choice, I only see "-" when selecting replace. The steps I am taking are
- Setting the disk I'm looking to replace as offline
- Hot swapping the disk with the replacement disk
- Clicking on the new disk and selecting replace and selecting the disk (At this step I'm only seeing "-" instead of da6)
- Allow disks to resilver

Am I missing a step or what can I do in order to resolve this?

I am attaching a screenshot of what I am seeing.

Thanks in advance!

Version of FreeNAS is FreeNAS-11.3-U4.1

Hi@all,
i'm new in this Forum and unfortunately can't open a new thread. i have the same problem as smokin5s.

im using FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6 (i know it's old, i will update it as soon as my zvol is working fine)

i have a RAID with 6 disks and at first 1 disk failed, now it's already 2 disks :(
i tried all guides i could find, but did not find an solution yet

what i did:

- marked the "UNAVAILABLE" disk as "OFFLINE"
- shutdown the NAS
- replaced the disk
- start NAS

and now there is no replacement disk

i alread tried to use that disk to replace the second failed one, with the sam result

"geom disk list" is not showing the new disk
"camcontrol devlist" shows the new disk

on the shell i tried:
zpool replace -f poolname 9817586330195686689 /dev/gptid/c659265c-b6ff-11e5-9e5d-001e67ad5808

but get the error:
cannot replace 18071580298447369189 with /dev/gptid/c659265c-b6ff-11e5-9e5d-001e67ad5808: no such pool or dataset

the disk on the left is the first disk that failed, the right is the new one

am i missing something?
do you need any further information?

thank you very much
Best regards
Christoph

sorry, the error message
cannot replace 18071580298447369189 with /dev/gptid/c659265c-b6ff-11e5-9e5d-001e67ad5808: no such pool or dataset
was for the second failed drive i tried to replace, the original error message is
cannot replace 9817586330195686689 with /dev/gptid/c659265c-b6ff-11e5-9e5d-001e67ad5808: no such pool or dataset

You can, you were probably just trying to open one in a restricted section. By the way, I moved this thread out of the old section where it was so that it doesn't get lost among all the old threads.

what i did:

- marked the "UNAVAILABLE" disk as "OFFLINE"
- shutdown the NAS
- replaced the disk
- start NAS

and now there is no replacement disk

That's kind of weird.

"camcontrol devlist" shows the new disk

Now that is super weird. The middleware must have gotten confused, somehow.

but get the error:
cannot replace 18071580298447369189 with /dev/gptid/c659265c-b6ff-11e5-9e5d-001e67ad5808: no such pool or dataset

Some error messages, especially in older versions of ZFS, are misleadingly specific when they should actually be more generic and/or are just plain incorrect. This may be one of them. Can you provide us the output of zpool status and camcontrol devlist?
Note that you probably want to create the extra partitions that TrueNAS creates on data disks, but one thing at a time.

has anyone another ideas?
oer something i can try?

Hello @All,
looks like there is no proper solution to this problem. what do you guys think woud be the best practise now?
copy the files to another place and then either first delete the RAID and recreate it or first try an update of FreeNAS with the broken RAID and see what happens?

let me know what you think

best regards
Chris

You might want to try wiping the replacement disk first from the disks section.

 

[Club]

i cannot see the new disk in the disks section, if you mean Storage -> View Disks in the GUI

Hi @All,
i'm still trying to solve this problem. I already saved some of the most important files, but not all. Right now i'm trying to Update FreeNAS but also get stuck. As mentioned i'm running version FreeNAS 9.10 and when i try to auto update i get this message:

a ping to google for example or a nslookup works fine, also a curl.

when i enter the webpage via browser and try a manual update with for example "FreeNASUI-11.0-RELEASE-64bdd482f3f4159771030dd9776721db.tgz" i get the following message after step "1/3 Uploading Update":

any ideas?

best regards
Chris

Well, clearly the updater was setup to not accept redirects - and I'm not sure it would know how to deal with what's on the other side anyway, all these years later.

You can just update from install media and import the config database (be sure you have backed it up before you do anything, in any case). Expect to have to reconfigure permissions for SMB shares.
