Hi guys,
Recently i bought DE6600 but can not make it work . It is connected to lsi 9207 8e with one 8088 sas cable. I load all trays with hdds but linux mint does not show any disks .
Any advice ?
Solved! See The Solution
It's quite useful, just not for what you're looking to do with it 🙂 You should be able to put an IOM12 in there for unsupported use.
E5660 (DE6600) is not a JBOD but a disk array (https://www.netapp.com/media/19764-ds-3643.pdf).
If you got a E5660, you need to create disk groups and volumes, and present volumes to hosts.
E5600 documentation: https://mysupport.netapp.com/documentation/docweb/index.html?productID=62002
Stand-alone enclosures (no controller, aka "expansion enclosures") are JBODs, and on those you'd see individual disks, but you may need two cables rather than just one. NetApp doesn't sell stand-alone expansion enclosures (JBOD storage), so none of the documents contain instructions for direct attachment of JBODs.
JBODs are always supposed to be attached to the controller shelf (as the E5660 documentation shows, for example) and Linux/Windows/ESXi clients connect indirectly, through controllers.
