I've added four new drives (same model, HUH721010AL4200) to a server using a (supermicro) server with a LSI MegaRAID 3108 controller. I want to make a new RAID10 array with them, but I'm having trouble getting them recognized.
Two of them are detected as Unconfigured(good), the other two are Unconfigured(bad). They do show up with the right model number, correct link speed etc but showing a size of 0 bytes.
Raw Size: 0 KB [0x0 Sectors]
Non Coerced Size: 0 KB [0x0 Sectors]
Coerced Size: 0 KB [0x0 Sectors]
Sector Size: 0
Logical Sector Size: 0
Physical Sector Size: 0
Firmware state: Unconfigured(bad)
Even though you wouldn't expect there to be existing headers on the 'bad' drives, I've tried to clear any foreign configuration and run MegaCli64 -PDMakeGood on them but this failed, even with a -Force.
I've swapped the drives around to see if it was the bays or the drives and it appears to be the drives.
I can't find any clue as to what's going on in the log files. I'm only seeing this

and, in dmesg:
[Mon Oct 15 14:07:40 2018] megaraid_sas 0000:02:00.0: 31956 (592919261s/0x0002/FATAL) - Unable to access device PD 59(e0x4a/s15)

A reboot doesn't change things either. The drives are also showing up as 0MB size in the RAID BIOS.
