    • RE: Problem Capturing right Host Primary Disk with INTEL VROC RAID1

      @george1421
      I have it working, created a postinit script with:

      IMSM_NO_PLATFORM=1 mdadm --verbose --assemble --scan
      rm /dev/md0
      ln -s /dev/md126 /dev/md0
      

      Although it recognizes md126 it still tries to do everything to md0, that’s why the symlink is in.
      Thank to @Ceregon https://forums.fogproject.org/post/154181

      Tested and working with SSD Raid1, NVME raid1 and resizable en non-resizable imaging.

      It would be nice if there is a possibility to select postinit scripts per host(group).
      This way there is no need for difficult extra scripting to define if correct hardware is in the system.

      In addition to this topic
      I have it working with FOG version 1.5.10.41 (dev version)
      Kernel 6.6.34
      Init 2024.02.3

      stable (also with latest kernel/init) is not working.

      @elchapulin remove hibernation file (shown hidden files) or use sysprep
      FOG won’t run with those on the system.

      @george1421 said in Problem Capturing right Host Primary Disk with INTEL VROC RAID1:

      @rdfeij Well the issue we have is that non of the developers have access to one of these new computers so its hard to solve.

      Also I have a project for a customer where we were loading debian on a Dell rack mounted precision workstation. We created raid 1 with the firmware but debian 12 would not see the mirrored device only the individual disks. So this may be a limitation with the linux kernel itself. If that is the case there is nothing FOG can do. Why I say that is the image that clones the hard drives is a custom version of linux. So if linux doesn’t support these raid drives then we are kind of stuck.

      I’m searching to see if I can find a laptop that has 2 internal nvme drives for testing, but no luck as of now.

      I can give u ssh access if you want, my test box is online. But i’m further also:
      I can’t post since i get a spam is detected notice when submitting…

      @george1421 tinkering on

      As described here :https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/memory-and-storage/linux-intel-vroc-userguide-333915.pdf from chapter4 we need a raid container (in my case raid1 with 2 nvme) and within the container create a volume.

      But how can i test this, debug mode doesnt let me boot to fog after tinkering

      @george1421
      SuperMicro X13SAE-F server board with Intel Optane / VROC in raid1 mode.
      2x NVME in raid1.

      In addition:

      the NVMe raid controller id is 8086:177f ( https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:8086-a77f-8086-0000 )
      0000:00:0e.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Intel Corporation Volume Management Device NVMe RAID Controller Intel Corporation [8086:a77f]

      RST controller, i think it is involved since all other sata controllers are disabled in bios:
      0000:00:1a.0 System peripheral [0880]: Intel Corporation RST VMD Managed Controller [8086:09ab]

      And NVMe’s: (but not involved i think;
      10000:e1:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Sandisk Corp WD Black SN770 NVMe SSD [15b7:5017] (rev 01)
      10000:e2:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Sandisk Corp WD Black SN770 NVMe SSD [15b7:5017] (rev 01)

      @george1421

      yes: in bios raid1 exists over 2 nvme’s
      mdraid=true is enabled

      md0 indeed is empty
      lsblk only shows content on the 2 nvme but not with md0

      I hope this will be fixed/solved soon, otherwise we are forced to another (WindowsPE based?) imaging platform since we get more and more VROC/Optane servers/workstations with raid enabled (industrial/security usage).

      I’m willing to help out to get this solved.

      Hi everyone, reading the investigations allready done gives me a feeling you got close to a fix to this.

      I got the experimental vroc file from the download link earlier in this topic.

      I have exactly the same issues, Intel VROC / Optane with 2 NVME in raid1.
      I can see the individual nvme’s but not the raid array/volume.

      Is there anywhere near to be expected a fix for this?
