Thanks, I will install the card and trying this on my windows computer. Sorry about the delay in my reply, didn't get a notification.
Lsi megaraid storage manager ibm system x m3 how to#
See here how to use UEFI shell (Kudos 2 Maglin). If you have problems in DOS, then you can switch to UEFI. Make sure to pick the IT firmware, as well as the sas2flsh.exe You can replace the P11 files from the instructions above with the P20. The latest firmware available is P20.00.07 for the reference card (LSI 9211-8i) Once you read the readme, and understood the procedure, I'm sure you know what to do. (info from the great wiki by lime-technology) Is it safe to keep the hard drive running and switch sata ports and see if the hard drive is detected on each port of the breakout cables or will that damage it? It would be ideal since I can test both the controller and the cables. The Dell Perc H200 has 2 mini sas ports so I bought two of the 1x mini sas to 4x sata breakout cables and have a spare hard drive for testing. Hopefully so that if there is an issue with the card itself I can send it back and get another one. I purchased a Dell Perc H200 from ebay with stock FW and was wondering what would be the best method to fully test the card and make sure it's all working before updating it to the IT firmware. I'm preparing to create my first unraid machine. It's my first time dealing with raid cards so I'm not entirely sure on how to test them before flashing. Posted a thread earlier but haven't received any replies, thought I'd post it here. The page is at -> Crossflashing Controllers Let me know if there's anything else you would like me to do.
There's important info missing too, like how do you flash! And I didn't know how best to set up the bottom sections, like boot disks, tools, etc. I hope not, but someone will need to double check all info. Well I've gotten it started, and there's lots of info imported, and a skeleton of a page fleshed out, but there's a LOT more work to do! Have at it! It's all yours! I'm afraid much of it was painstaking cut and paste, line by line because each needed different formatting, so it's possible I've made mistakes.
There could be a "general" section, where the intention/basics of flashing are explained more in detail, that can be linked to, as a guide for users who have to flash new, unknown hardware or as background information. We should link only from the specific controllers in the compatibility page that are covered on the new wiki pages. If you can import those posts, it would be a good base to start from. I figure it should be self-explanatory, simple and easy to find. You also may have your own ideas for formatting style. * Would you like me to import Madburg's first 4 posts and reformat for wiki syntax? Or leave it all to you. * I can link to it from the Hardware Compatibility page, and I can modify the first post of this thread to point to it. * What would you like for the page name? some ideas - Flashing LSI Controllers, Controllers and Firmware, Flashing SATA Controllers, etc Would you please prepare the backbone somewhere in the wiki? I'll be happy to assist any way you like, just tell me what you want. I suspect it might even make your life easier, less support necessary, because good info keeps getting buried on back pages.

It would be great to extract all the nuggets hidden throughout this long thread, into one place! A place that anyone can update (but is patrolled).

Fireball, it really seems way past time to put this all in a wiki page! Any interest? Then we could move madburg's first 4 posts over to it, and you could update them all for current versions, plus you could add other sections that are relevant, such as about UEFI, etc.
