LSI Internal PCI-Express SAS/SATA HBA, 9211-8I, 8-Port 6Gb/s Controller Card

Product Information

All together, it’s over 50TB to add to my storage. I figure that some will essentially be “server mirrors”, by essentially having everything from a “critical data” server mirrored to the “mirror’s” drives which will likely be in a RAID10 array… Took me 6 hours to figure out all this (I always tried to ignore as much as I could about UEFI and SecureBoot).

i am familiar with creating an ms-dos bootable image but what specific commands do i need to run to upgrade the firmware ??? Create the sub-folders for EFI boot. In the web there are two different structures: /boot/efi and /efi/boot. For time saving I’ve created both groups, it works. With IR the card itself takes control of how the data is written to the disks and how it is presented to the OS. I was able to figure it out. For others, if you have more than 1 card you can either simply not flash a boot bios onto any card if you don't want or need the boot bios or choose to write to just one card the boot bios while the rest you don't need to. Just to be clear, I didn't say they quit making them in 2011. It's just that there was a heavy influx of them in a certain period. Since SAS 12Gbps wasn't introduced until recently, I'm sure they continued to make them.Look here for a discussion regarding this (and please also answer the question in the header of the post): http://bit.ly/1RyzrhY.

sas2flsh.exe worked wonderfully, especially P20 DOS version from the authentic Broadcom links I found above. I did not need P5 or EFI. yeah i remove the boot bios from all my cards, but if you have it on one its fine. i just will never be booting off a drive on the card so pull it from all.

NVDIA deleted my Reddit Post----dual GPU issue on -m18 Laptop w/ i9 + 64GB RAM + 4090 iGPU + 3060 OC eGPU (12GB VRAM) over T3 Sonnet 750ex Breakaway The H200 (the card with two internal ports) comes with the IR one, whereas the PERC 6Gbps SAS HBA comes with the IT one. The hardware is exactly the same. The card ("LSI Host Bus Adapter SAS 9211-8i") comes by default with a so-called IR firmware with the possibility to swap it to a so-called IT firmware. These are 12x4TB storage servers rented from OVH. They use Supermicro boards, Avago 9211-4i cards, and HGST 7k6000 SAS drives (512 sector size models). You can add up to two USB flash drives to these servers for an additional fee, so I added 2x64GB and mirrored FreeNAS boot. But how would we switch between these two modes on the cards? That's where the HBA card firmware comes in. The software on the card implements some of the features listed above in both the IR and IT modes. So if we wanted to change our card mode, we would update its firmware. If you feel brave, you can also use the following guide to flash a 9211-8i card into “IT mode”.

I'm going to use this card in a FreeNAS containing my precious family photos, movies etc. But then I want to be 100% sure that it's not fake or a rejected card from the manufacturer due to quality problems." Now that you saw that you PC/server is still able to boot even with the card inserted in its slot, prepare a medium to use to boot the PC/server and update the firmware. So I think I have all the files for the firmware upgrade, and an idea of the firmware flash command / process, mps0: port 0xfc00-0xfcff mem 0xdf1bc000-0xdf1bffff,0xdf1c0000-0xdf1fffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2I came across numerous errors as I tried different tutorials, the biggest one was gaining access to EFI shell. I tried Rufus method, I tried simply formatting the drive to FAT partition and creating /boot/efi/….nothing worked. When something worked, I got this error. “ERROR: Failed to initialize PAL. Exiting the program.” I determined sas2flash P20 has 1 additional important sounding option, than P16 (as was in Freenas): "-sbr" however I did not even need to use it. It seemed to detect that it needed to run this option itself. IR: Integrated Raid. The card itself writes extra proprietary informations to the devices => such devices can therefore be read only by compatible HW. When using the combo of LSI SAS 9211-8i —> HP SAS Expander —> Hitachi 5K3000 3TB drives, the Hitachi drives will only connect at SATA 150 speeds. Drives will connect at SATA 600 when directly connected to the HBA. All I did was crossflash the HBA Card, update Bios and Firmware and just want to make sure nothing was overlooked before I install Freenas.
