The problem is solved. I downloaded another copy of the dmg, uninstalled SoftRaid and reinstalled it and now everything is working correctly. Thanks for your suggestions.

@bob_stan

Do you know how to startup in verbose mode? (generally command v) then you can see what is stalling for the two minutes.

Download a fresh dmg and see if it opens. its just a DMG.

As the computer boots, the two enclosures that are configured Raid 1/0 both show disk activity. Then halfway through the boot progress with the apple logo, the bar hangs for almost 2 minutes. Then the boot completes. If I boot in safe mode there is no delay. another curious thing is that once the computer is booted, if I try to open the SoftRaid installation DMG it won't open at all. DMG's for other programs open fine.

When drives do not appear, it is a hardware issue of some kind. You are correct, the Thunderbay's are showing up.

Check your cables again. I wonder if the drives are even spinning up?

SoftRAID reflects what macOS sees, so if they are not showing up in SoftRAID they are not available to macOS. this has nothing to do with drivers, etc. it is a physical issue.

I have Raid Arrays in three OWC Thunderbay Enclosures. After upgrading to Monterrey 12.1 on my 2019 MacPro none of the disks are visible.

Disk Utility shows no Raid Disks.

System Information shows the Thunderbay enclosures on the Thunderbird busses.

The Softraid log shows Jan 15 13:00:19 - SoftRAID Driver: SoftRAID driver loaded, version 6.2.

The SoftRaid panel only shows the Apple drives.

The boot security is set to NONE.

I have tried to reinstall the driver with no change. I cleared all SoftRaid settings from the Utility Menu and reinstalled the driver. I got the message to Allow installation of software from developers. I went to preferences and did that. I rebooted - no change.

I am getting no messages about outdated extensions.
