How to Solve Disks Stuck in UGood State and Not Detected in Hyperion

IMPORTANT
Drives should only be forced to JBOD state if it is certain that they do not belong to an existing RAID configuration on another controller, as this operation may cause data loss.


Symptom

Disks transferred from an alternative RAID controller or another system are not detected by SynetoOS. When checking the drive information via the MegaRAID StorCLI, the affected drives are marked as UGood (Unconfigured Good) instead of JBOD, preventing the system from mounting or utilizing the storage pool.


Solution

Step 1. Connect to Hyperion appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

 

Step 2. Become Super User

sudo su

 

Step 3. Check disks

lsblk -o NAME,SERIAL,SIZE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

[root@syneto-os-backups]# lsblk -o NAME,SERIAL,SIZE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT
NAME   SERIAL            SIZE TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda    EDE8N5097IOA01R05 447.1G disk 
├─sda1                     512M part /boot/efi
├─sda2                       2G part /boot
└─sda3                     195.3G part /
sdc    31336119              7T disk 
├─sdc1                       7T part 
└─sdc9                       8M part 
sdd    WBMA9E4H            2.2T disk 
├─sdd1                     2.2T part 
└─sdd9                       8M part 
sde    EDE8N5097IOA01R0I 447.1G disk 
├─sde1                     512M part 
├─sde2                       2G part 
└─sde3                     195.3G part 
sdf    3133A916              7T disk 
├─sdf1                       7T part 
└─sdf9                       8M part 
sdg    WBMA9DKE            2.2T disk 
├─sdg1                     2.2T part 
└─sdg9                       8M part 
zram0                        4G disk [SWAP]

 

Step 4. Check disks configuration

/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 /eall /sall show

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

[root@syneto-os-backups]# /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 /eall /sall show
CLI Version = 007.3103.0000.0000 Aug 22, 2024
Operating system = Linux 5.14.0-503.38.1.el9_5.x86_64
Controller = 0
Status = Success
Description = Show Drive Information Succeeded.

Step 5. Force the drive state to JBOD (replace <slot_number> with the correct information)

/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 /e252 /<slot_number> set jbod

EXAMPLE

/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 /e252 /s6 set jbod
/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 /e252 /s7 set jbod

Repeat this action for each slot missing the JBOD mode.

 

Step 6. Verify that the previously missing disks are now visible

lsblk -o NAME,SERIAL,SIZE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

[root@syneto-os-backups]# lsblk -o NAME,SERIAL,SIZE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT
