LSI 2208 9286-8e MegaRAID controller beeping when connected to 24-bay NexentaSTOR JBOD enclosure

  • 772

I am getting beeping from the LSI external RAID controller even if I properly shutdown and there is no array re-initialization.

Would I be required to use a battery back (BBU) with the LSI controller if it's driving an external enclosure with an expander chip?

Details: firmware and drivers are all 5.5 for Windows

    It appears that installing a battery pack helps with scenarios where an extender chip is used (for internal connections, LSI strongly recommends it). In my scenario, expander chip resides inside NexentaStor enclosure -- creating a similar runtime environment.
