I'm at work and can't help you now - did you install pciutils? You need pciutils working to run the script, the easiest way is via homebrew:

Ok understood.

Yes, I downloaded the zip from Github and started following instructions from this thread. Not really sure what I'm doing to be honest but just following instructions from when @joevt was helping another user.

Does sudo lspci work?
You probably need to set the debug=0x144 boot-args parameter.
First look at the current value of boot-args:
nvram boot-args
then append debug=0x144 to that:
nvram "boot-args=...oldvalue... debug=0x144"

Maybe it means you don't have boot-args. You can see all the Apple nvram variables with nvram -p.
So you can just create it with
sudo nvram boot-args=debug=0x144
Then restart. Then sudo lspci should work and also sudo ./pcitree.sh.

Ahh ok I’ll try that

MacOS installer don't have sudo.

From macOS installer:
Code:
nvram boot-args="debug=0x144"

If you disabled SIP, from macOS:
Code:
sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0x144"

Edit: it's not the SSD7101A-1 switch, I was not expecting 3-switches and should have look at the full report.

Weird, HPT SSD7101A-1 is being identified as an x8 card.

And it should be identifying as a x16 card am I correct?

It's a x16 switch, PEX8747.


Maybe your backplane is damaged, since the card is only working at x8 (wrong, it's the other switch). Test the card with another Mac Pro or a PC to eliminate the card itself as a possibility.[

Oops, why you have 3 switches? You should have two, the slots 3/4 PCIe 2.0 IDT PES12T3G2 switch on the backplane and the PEX8747 of SSD7101A-1.

Do you have an USB card that have a switch? Remove it and run the test again.

Hmmm. The line that reads “g3x16 > g2x16” identifies the PEX 8747 though, no?

Pardon my ignorance in reading this. Not the most familiar with read outs like this.

Yes I have a Sonnet USB 3 card. I’ll remove and try now.
 
Use code quotes, it's difficult to read if you just paste the report.

Ok. I've removed the USB card and ran the test again. Output below.

Ok, I'll see if I can get access to another Mac Pro to isolate if it's the card
 
So I may have just effed up royally and broke my 3 drive RAID 0 on my HPT card.

I was trying to get Continuity to work so was going through some troubleshooting and in the process was going to update my iOS on my iPhone XS Max. I went to go plug it into the cMP 5,1 for the first time to try and do a wired back up (for speed sake--as I have up to date iCloud backups) and was told I needed to upgrade MacOS in order to plug the iPhone in.

I was hesitant to just hit "continue" or whatever the button was in green because the dialog box did not specify whether it was just going to update the Mojave 10.14.6 security update I had waiting in the update queue recently or if it was going to try and upgrade me to Catalina or something...

So I went to the system preferences and initiated the update from there and elected to restart. I wish they would give you the option of "shut down and then cold boot" instead of restart because I've been having trouble with a 4 drive HDD AppleRAID 1+0 disappearing on warm boot but that's a different issue...

After reboot, the RAID 1+0 was predictably missing but worse yet, the NVMe RAID 0 (3x Samsung EVO Plus 1TB, using HPT drivers and WebGUI RAID, formatted HFS+) volume was nowhere to be found and I had the dreaded "the drive inserted isn't readable initialize? ignore?" message for the 3x EVO+ drives.

So how effed am I here?

I have a redundant (two alternating) Time Machine backups, the most recent which was this morning. I was hoping to clone that volume with CCC so that I could just reclone if something like this happened. Alas, I had not done that yet.

Can I just restore to the Time Machine backup from this morning and hope that fixes everything? (admittedly I have never successfully restored from TM backup, and I'm sure this complex of a configuration complicates it further)

Is this an HPT driver issue? Under System Report, I'm seeing "Generic SSD Controller" again. I can still see two Highpoint entries under System Report extensions, however. "HighpointIOP" 4.4.1 and "HighpointRR" 4.13.6

I'm also having trouble reaccessing the WebGUI but I'm assuming that's due to the drivers(?)

I get the following message in the browser:

The connection between WebGUI and RocketRAID HBA has been interrupted, WebGUI will try to reconnect RocketRAID HBA in 2 second(s).

If so, can I just reinstall the drivers and voila the problem is fixed? (I seriously doubt it...)

If I go through with just starting from scratch and build the RAID 0 again, how easy will it be to restore just that drive from TM? (sorry if this is a really basic question.) I am reluctant because I'm also getting other weird issues, like:
  1. My Little Snitch Configuration file was missing or something and now I'm having to go through and remake all rules. (this file was NOT on the RAID 0 volume--as that volume was only 2TB of photos and lightroom catalog files.)
  2. My desktop icons were different than pre-update, which is weird since I had cleaned them up last week and the changes reflected on my MBP automatically (so obviously they made it up to iCloud.)
  3. I'm getting the message that "the identity of the backup disks has changed" for Time Machine. Thinking this is due to the drive/volume musical chairs that just occurred after losing the HPT RAID 0 volume.
So I'm thinking maybe a full restore from Time Machine backup, but will that really restore everything to how it was? I had TM backing up my Evo+ boot drive, the HPT RAID 0 volume, the HDD RAID 1+0 volume, and an additional internal SSD.
 
So I may have just effed up royally and broke my 3 drive RAID 0 on my HPT card.

I was trying to get Continuity to work so was going through some troubleshooting and in the process was going to update my iOS on my iPhone XS Max. I went to go plug it into the cMP 5,1 for the first time to try and do a wired back up (for speed sake--as I have up to date iCloud backups) and was told I needed to upgrade MacOS in order to plug the iPhone in.

I was hesitant to just hit "continue" or whatever the button was in green because the dialog box did not specify whether it was just going to update the Mojave 10.14.6 security update I had waiting in the update queue recently or if it was going to try and upgrade me to Catalina or something...

So I went to the system preferences and initiated the update from there and elected to restart. I wish they would give you the option of "shut down and then cold boot" instead of restart because I've been having trouble with a 4 drive HDD AppleRAID 1+0 disappearing on warm boot but that's a different issue...

Okay, look like reinstalling the drivers fixed this. phew!

I should have re-read the highpoint instruction PDF's before posting here. Apologies for the thread hijack (as its not really "performance" related but highpoint 7101A related and I couldn't remember if this was the main Highpoint thread or not.) I will delete if necessary. OTOH, if my sharing my carelessness will help some other poor soul I will leave this for anyone searching.
