I have a beeping supermicro server and my suspicion is that it's a RAID/disk issue. The supermicro storage is a separate unit to the manager (a HP Proliant Gen 9). As a result I've started attempting to discover some info about the RAID array and run this command:

lspci | grep RAID

which produces this output:

08:00.0 RAID bus controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array Gen9 Controllers (rev 01)

From what I've read (correct me if I'm wrong) this means the server is running Hewlett-Packard type RAID(?). As a result I've installed hpacucli and run this command:

hpacucli ctrl all show config

The output of which is:

Error: No controllers detected.

The output of lsscsi is:

This is all fairly new to me. Does anyone know why there is no output from the hpacucli command?

My guess is that you have an HP ProLiant Gen9 server and a Supermicro external JBOD enclosure for some reason.

HP servers don't beep when there are problems or failures; that's a silly way to alert of an issue. Supermicro equipment sometimes DOES beep when there's a problem.

The HP H241 is an HP-branded LSI SAS HBA.

The Supermicro JBOD has a few 450GB SAS disks in it. The enclosure may have a fan or power supply issue. Look for red lights.
