Product Information

sas2flash -c CARD_ID -list - provides full details about each card (current firmware, bios, versions, sas ID, manufacturer, whether IR/IT, etc. If all this holds true can I shutdown, move the controller to my unRAID server, attach my SAS to SATA breakout cables, connect my HDDs and boot unRAID OS?

I’ll try and make this short, But essentially, the 2 different cables look pretty much the same but differ in how they are used to carry data. Our 90 day warranty provides sufficient time to allow you to fully test your purchase and discover any unlikely, underlying issues. The firmware most people will want to get working is LSI/Avago/Broadcom IT software (currently version P20). org/freenas/Convert-LSI-HBA-card-to-IT-mode/ that was mentioned in a older post here I ran into a issue when creating the bootable USB. There's quite a bit more info I plowed through on my way to the objective, but none of it was really pertinent to getting the job done.I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use, and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them. I believe he was referencing the old card (9207) but it is still a good troubleshooting step, have you tried using both of the ports on the 9211-8i? Update DELL H200 IR to DELL H200 IT (or the IT firmware version for whatever manufacturer your card is). There is a guide for cross flashing Dell PERC H310 to LSI, it’s essentially 9211-8i with Dell firmware.

I had done it in the past with a pair of M1015s but on a non-UEFI mobo and had completely forgotten where I found instructions. The reason we use the P5 flasher here and in the next step is that the newer flashers are configured not to work with anything except LSI-branded cards and firmware, so until a few more steps are done, this is the flasher we have to use. The Lsi Sas 9211-8I Host Bus Adapter Provides The Greatest Available Throughput To Internal Server Storage Arrays Through Eight Internal 6gb/s Ports, Driving Up To 256 Sas And Sata Physical Devices. Otherwise treat the rest of this section as general information to skim over, and take what action you prefer. added new section on cards, chipsets and their variants at the start of the guide, with a link to a comprehensive resource list.

Once your storage device is set up to boot and look for an operating system or shell, the LSI-related files in the attachment should be copied over to it, and also the MSDOS related files if it can't find MSDOS.

wendell I bought a new LSI card and it still isn’t working with my PC(previously posted about my problems here: LSI SAS 9207-8i and windows 10). Without that, it won't ask if you want to change vendor ID, even if you're using the right versions. You could run the MSDOS flashers off FreeDOS but generally blog posts suggest MSDOS seems more solid. There are 4 pins on the end, do I need to use a jumper or something to change so they are picked up by the 9211?The IT firmware should be easy to find on your card manufacturer's download site; if not then Google it. Generally, cards in the same section are likely to be interchangeable, at least for simple card uses like HBA and well known chips like the 2008/2108/2208/3008/3108. This guide will work whether you have one or multiple 9211-style cards installed, but it's not unreasonable to do them one at a time. One of the links at the bottom of this page gives information on SBR and notes that if the card sees some but not all drives when crossflashed, the SBR data might in some cases be responsible. exe, backup the existing SBR data (although you probably won't ever need it) and then erase the card and all NVRAM data, including writing empty SBR data to the card.
