Successfully flashed many 9211-8i's/M1015's but never a H310/H200 yet. Flashed it easy enough, did it in a BIOS based system I keep around for flashing, sure there would have been not issues on EFI but I didnt want to take down one of my ESXi nodes.
Process if I remember correctly is roughly.
1. megacli -AdpAllInfo -aAll -page 20 (document sas address)
2. megarec -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin
3. megerec -cleanflash 0
4. reboot
5. sas2flsh -o -f 6GBSSAS.FW
6. sas2flsh -o -sasadd 5d4aXXXXXXXXXXXX (16 digit sas address)
7. reboot
8. sas2flsh -o -f 2118it.bin (I used v7 first which allows IR <-> IT crossflashing, will ask to crossflash, type Y to proceed)
9. reboot
10. sas2flsh -o -f 2118it.bin (v19 of the LSI FW this time)
11. Validate w/ sas2flsh -list (should be in IT mode at v19 of LSI FW)
My H310 now gets queue depth 600 instead of the pathetic 25 initially w/ Dell FW on it. Gonna be used as my last vSAN HBA to pair w/ my 9211-8i's.
Definitive guide here that I used, just shortened up for the sake of straight to the point/being brief in hopes that someone else here may find it useful...I know there are a few of these floating around one forums but a dedicated H310 thread can never hurt.
