Hi all,
I have a Fujitsu D3307-A12 CP400i MegaRAID card that I'd like to act as an HBA. The card supports JBOD mode which seems to passthrough drives to the OS, but I'd rather go all the way. Since it's based on the SAS3008 chipset, it should be fine.
I found this video guide which details the process for crossflashing the LSI9300-8i firmware onto the card, however he says the SBR for a SAS3008 card in IT mode is required for a succesful flash. Unfortunately he doesn't provide this file, maybe because he's selling these preflashed cards on his eBay store. Anyways.
Trying to find an SBR file has only got me to now missing STH forum threads (https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...avago-broadcom-sbr-download-megathread.33607/, https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...-vendor-crossflashing-adventures.28297/page-2). The only thread I found was this one. An SBR file that allegedly works is provided, however I noticed it's 256bytes whereas the video guide makes a point of the fact that SAS3008 SBRs should be 448 bytes. So I'm not sure what to make of it. I am especially wanting to minimise the risk of getting this wrong as, from that thread, flashing the wrong SBR will brick the card and require the SBR to be reflashed by hand. This isn't a process I'm really familiar or comfortable with.
I'm hoping that someone can chime in either with an SBR file from a SAS3008 device that's 448bytes (or assurance that this isn't accurate), or information from their expereince flashing the same card.
Thanks!
