How to Fix Degraded VDEV?

I have a 45Drives HL15 running TrueNAS Goldeye 25.10.0.1. I have a single pool with 15x 8TB drives in RAIDZ2 configuration. I see the VDEV listed as DEGRADED. Based on hard drive serial numbers, I have identified which drive in my HL15 is “removed” and which is “unavailable.” I’ve never dealt with a degraded VDEV before so I’m wanting to confirm what my next steps should be. Based on my understanding I should unplug the “unavailable” drive and plug it back in. Is this correct? What should happen next? Any troubleshooting steps for the drive in the HL15 that is listed as “removed?” Happy to share any other info that would be helpful.

The unavailable drive is in slot 9 of my HL15 and the removed drive is still physically seated in slot 12 of my HL15.

15-wide is wider than most would feel comfortable with, and unfortunately leaves you without a free bay. But the motherboard and/or HBA may have some free ports; that could come handy.
Does sudo zpool status reports errors?

If the missing sdi and sdo (?) are still visible to the system, run
smartctl -x /dev/sdX on them (where X is the appropriate letter)
and post the output as formatted text (</> button).
If they are not, you can power down, reseat these drives and power up again.
Keep tracking drives by serial number :+1:

Expectation is that the drives are failing, so your should prepare to replace them by new, preferably burnt in, drives.
Do you have a backup?

errors: No known data errors

Based on this, am I good to power down, reseat these drives and power up again?

I have backed up my data using syncthing. I’m a total noob and don’t really understand everything yet in terms of proper backup of TrueNAS itself. That said, I am backing up the data stored on my NAS pool and my nvmestorage pool via syncthing to an external USB drive connected to an iMac. I then used rSync on the iMac to copy the backup of the USB drive to another USB drive. That 2nd USB drive now sits at a friends house where I use syncthing to sync any new data.

Backup overview:

Syncthing server (running in Dockge) sync data on NAS and nvmestorage pools to USB Drive on iMac. Then Syncthing syncs the USB drive connected to the iMac to a USB Drive at a friends house.

My hope is to use time off from work between Christmas/New Years to learn more about proper backup of TrueNAS and the data pools.

If you have backed up your data to satisfaction (15*8 TB could be a lot…), basically yes.
But first tell us more about your hardware (bare metal vs. virtualised, motherboard, HBA, how drives are attached, etc.), check whether the missing drives are sill seen by the system (lsblk), and if so get SMART data.

It’s bare-metal TrueNAS SCALE 25.10.0.1 (Goldeye) installed directly on a 45Drives HL15. I use dockge to run apps and SMB shares for accessing my data.

Hardware summary (I found this online from my build):

  • • Chassis: 45Drives HL15
    • Motherboard: Supermicro X11SPH-nCTPF (onboard)
    • CPU: Single Xeon Silver 4210R (10c/20t)
    • RAM: 128 GB ECC (8×16 GB RDIMM)
    • Boot device: 2 × 500 GB SATA SSD in mirror on the motherboard SATA ports (rear 2.5" bays)
    • HBA #1 (rear expander bay 1–15): Broadcom 9500-16i in IT mode (SAS3916 chip) – drives 1-15
    • HBA #2 (rear expander bay 16–45): Broadcom 9500-16i in IT mode – drives 16-45
    • Backplanes: 45Drives uses SAS expanders behind each 15-bay backplane, cabled from the 9500-16i with internal Mini-SAS HD cables
    • All 45 data drives are connected through the two 9500-16i cards (no motherboard SATA, no on-board LSI in the HL15)
    • NICs: Onboard Intel X722 (2×10GbE SFP+) + Intel X710-DA2 (2×10GbE SFP+ in PCIe slot) – currently using the X722 ports
    • PSU: 2 × redundant 1280 W Titanium

The pool that’s having the VDEV problem is made up of 15 drives from these HBAs

Based on this, it looks like I can’t get SMART data. Is that correct?

Wow! That’s a bigger system than I tought.
Are these “SAS expanders” or merely backplanes? You wouldn’t need two HBAs with actual expanders (not to mention the one that sits on-board…). i want to check for possible double pathing issues here.
It seems you could get something from smartctl -x /dev/sdi
The other drive is AWOL.

Honestly I don’t 100% know the answer here but I believe they’re just backplanes. The unit was configured using the standard configuration options at 45HomeLab Store

They’re selling “version 2.0” of the hardware now, mine was version 1 but it appears most everything is similar with the exception of motherboard options. My HL15 was a “fully built & tested” model:

I’m not sure how to interpret all that.

Not being able to retrive SMART data certainly qualifies as failure…
If it is under warranty, proceed to RMA. If not, you may dispose of it.

It wasn’t really necessary here, but formatted text (</>) helps with readability when pasting shell output.

Do you have pictures of the backplane?
Is there a component with a sizeable heatsink?
How many data connectors?
(If the answers to the last two are “no” and “4 SFF-8643 for 15 drives”, they are passive.)

Yes, I have several pictures I took of the inside of the HL15 the day I got it:

The user removes the lid from the top of the HL15 and lowers the drives down onto the connectors on the backplane.

When inserting drives, I label them with the slot they’ll be in, the serial # of the drive is next to the label:

I keep these drive slot numbers and the serial numbers in a text file as reference/backup.

Yep…

I am not sure I’m providing what you’re looking for but the HL15 website refers to the backplane as: Direct Wired 45Drives 15x SATA/SAS and refers to HBA Card LSI 9400-16i.

Status Update:

I shutdown TrueNAS via the webUI, removed drives from slots 9 and 12, after 45 seconds I reinstalled them in the same bays. Now in the storage dashboard I see:

:up_arrow: that’s me trying to learn how to use </> properly.

Some progress. 16325599693649201829 came back, and is resilvering. If you know its current device name, get SMART data (smartctl -v /dev/sdX ).
Do you see all 15 drives in lsblk now, or still just 14? There is an unassigned disk.

I meant “a sizeable heatsink on the backplane”, most likely on the “back” side, opposite the drive connectors. One the motherboard, these are, of course CPU, chipset and on-board HBA.

“Direct” means it is just a passive backplane. No expander.

In progress. :wink: Just select the whole block and click on </> .
Alternatively, type two lines with three backquotes, and paste the shell output between these lines:
```
multiline shell output
goes here
```

Let’s try with sas3flash -list to check the firmware on the on-board HBA, which you’re using after all. (Or was it a picture as received, and then you’ve unplugged the SAS cables and put your 9500s instead?)

I have no idea but I’m guessing the answer is no. There are a total of 6 noctua fans (3 in front of the drives and 3 behind as you may have seen in the photos) but I’m not aware of anything attached to the backplane.

It seems that resilvering must’ve failed as I now see the following in the VDEV dashboard:

I didn’t do any cabling once I received the HL15, I just inserted the drives, powered it up and installed TrueNAS OS.

We know the answer is ‘no’ because it is a passive backplane. There is no SAS expander to cool—and if it were it wouldn’t get any air.

From everything I can see in online searches, it looks like the drives are ok. That said, the storage dashboard still shows:


I’m not sure what to do. I appreciate all the help you’ve provided, @etorix

Indeed, sdo looks healthy.
But sdi was dropped from the pool and is no longer recognised.
Maybe it was dropped long enough to be out of sync? Or labels are corrupted?

I suppose that expects could investigate why two drives were dropped for the pool in short sucession.
Otherwise, you could (from GUI) “replace” the removed drive by the unassigned disk (that is: replacing the missing drive by itself) and recover full redundancy. But keep an eye on it…

So, trying this is safe?

I would not say it is completely “safe”, since this is the drive which could not give a SMART report, and ultimately you probably should replace it for good, but you may try a “self-replace” to repair the pool. And, well, if this drive cannot complete the resilver, we’ll have another evidence that it is failed.

It probably needs “Force”.


Failed even with force selected.

sudo zpool replace -f NAS 16325599693649201829 sdi
[sudo] password for truenas_admin:
cannot replace 16325599693649201829 with sdi: one or more devices is currently unavailable

So I also suspect that drive is potentially bad. Any other commands to attempt to resolve? If it really is bad, I do have a spare drive to replace with.

Just replace with the spare.
