Hello,
I have a machine which was running a imsm raid volume, where the
motherboard failed and I do not have access to another system with
imsm. I remember noticing some time ago that mdadm could recognize
these arrays, so I decided to try recovery in a spare machine with the
disks from the array.
I guess my questions are:
Is this the right forum for help with this?
Am I even going down a feasible path here or is this array dependent
on the HBA in some way?
If it is possible any ideas of anything else I can do to debug this further?
The original array was a raid 5 of 4x2TB sata disks
When I examine the first disk, things look good:
mdadm --examine /dev/sdb
mdadm: /dev/sdb is not attached to Intel(R) RAID controller.

When I try to scan for arrays I get this:
# mdadm --examine --scan
HBAs of devices does not match (null) != (null)
ARRAY metadata=imsm UUID=b67ea029:aaea7da2:2540c1eb:ebe98af1
ARRAY /dev/md/Volume0 container=b67ea029:aaea7da2:2540c1eb:ebe98af1

member=0 UUID=51a415ba:dc9c8cd7:5b3ea8de:465b4630
My first concern is the warning that the HBA is missing, the whole
reason I am going at it this way is because I don't have the HBA.
Second concern is duplicate detection of the same array.
If i try to run # mdadm -As:
mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically
I also tried adding the output from --examine --scan to
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf but after trying that I now get blank output:
# mdadm --assemble /dev/md/Volume0
#
# mdadm --assemble --scan
