I have a PERC H740P in a R740 that a few weeks ago started randomly yanking virtual disks out from my running system. They just disappeared. No errors present in iDRAC, and when I reboot I get a small message that the cache state needs to be cleared and prompts me to do so. This would happen repeatedly, where I would boot to OS, the drives would exist for about 2 minutes, and then gone again.

Upgraded everything I could (BIOS, iDRAC, HBA firmware) and it was fine for a few weeks, but it has just now done it again. Battery looks to be fine from iDRAC status.

Any other thoughts or is this card just on the fritz?
