Greeting,

 

Ive have a 16in MBP Max running 12.5 and Softraid 6.3. I no marly us the 18TB thunderbay(stripe 64KB) on a iMac with Bur Sur (Same Softraid Ver).

Just purchased a extra seat of my 2nd Mac.

Today I wanted to edit fast in the M1 MBP, it was off, I plugin the TB3 Cable and booted. After login I got 4 Boxes swing the drives were un readable and needed to be reformatted. I Powered the MBP down, removed the TB3 cable and pluged it into the olde iMac. Rebooted and the 16TB RAID mounted without a problem. I really need this RAID to work on this computer. My Studio with Montery will arrive soon.

please help

 

Brian

Did you do this?
https://support.apple.com/en-lk/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/mac
Select reduced security and enable this:
Select the “Allow user management of kernel extensions from identified developers” checkbox to allow installation of software that uses legacy kernel extensions.

Now you need to (re)install the SoftRAID driver.

After enabling third party extensions, reinstall the SoftRAID driver, (do not immediately restart) and go to System Preferences / Security to "Allow" OWC as an identified developer.

Also, you should navigate to System Preferences/Security/Privacy/Full Disk Access and enable full disk access for SoftRAID.

This line in System Profiler:

activation_lock_status: activation_lock_enabled

Means you have not set this correctly. Please try again:
