:eek: is this as simple as: An authoritative name server cannot be IPv6 only..?

Fellow home-lab nerds! I recently got IPv6 on my fiber, and my ISP (kviknet.dk) provided a /48 prefix, and registered the PTR zone on the backbone pointing to nameservers in my registered domain. $ dig 5.0.1.b.4.0.0.4.6.0.a.2.ip6.arpa ns ; <<>> DiG 9.16.22-Debian <<>>...

Perfect! Worked like a charm for me!

Hi VenChron, I still have occasional nightmares about the time spend in that rabbit-hole then. I'll gladly share a .zip of the SBR's & SPD's collected then, but I've repressed the details of process (-: Happy recoveries - Kim Bjoern

Perfect neb50! I've ordered a kit with all cables; will check if I can leave one out. Thanks - Kim

Hi all, I've ordered a Flexbay / rear backplane chassis for my DELL R720xd (0JDG3). I understand that its intended use and installation is an "extension" of the main SAS expander (mine is a single 12x3.5" LFF). However, I've seen other postings that it is possible to connect the Flexbay to a...

SOLVED! So skyjam - another great contributor in the forum, replied to a PM with two sets of SBR/SPD's; from a 9266-8i and a Fujitsu D3116. Funny enough, skyjam had mixed up his files, but I was quickly celebrating when my card successfully ate his 9266-8i SBR file with lsirec, and flashed the...

Hi all, thanks in advance for reading. So, zach4485 and I have both managed to brick 9266-8i controllers in attempts to cross flash to HBA. We both lost SBR and SPD backups, and have since been on quests to recover original state (iMR/Megaraid). We've reached out in mails and pm's, and...

Thanks again name stolen, I envy you being rational. I am not; I'm rationalizing that all the hours spent on trying to salvage a card, I have no use for, is extremely developing and entertaining. I'm in Denmark, so mobilizing USPS would require even more rationalization. Hopefully someone else...

Again, thank you so much for helping out. Maybe you've already helped us: As I understand it: sas2flash is used on LSI HBA's in IT mode - not for LSI RAID controllers in iMR/IR mode. Or, LSI RAID cards with a modded (or cleared) .sbr. What you are experiencing is expected. You may already have...

Many thanks for your willingness to help out, as Zach4485 I'm also partially bricked with a 9266-8i rev. c card. Do you have enterprise iDRAC on your R230? I can recommend booting from mapped media in the virtual console, and copy the sbr files to a fat formatted usb. I'm running DELL R520...

You may add CISCO UCS L4-25419-01B as an OEM variant of LSI 9266-8i w. 2208 chip rev. c1 /Kim Bjoern

Many thanks @BLinux - I tried again to crossflash the 9266-8i, it doesn't seem to "self-repair" the SBR on this card. Megarec.exe -cleanflash (twice ;-), and - writesbr BIGB0STK.sbr allowed me to lsirec hostboot w. 9205-8e - and complete flashes. But no succesfull reboot. I also tried lsirec...

Thanks again fohdeesha, I'm abandoning the IT mode, and trying to recover original state. https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/lsi-9270-8i-it-mode.16085/page-4#post-255329

Hi all, thanks in advance for possibly helping me out. Googling like a maniac; some say it's not possible, but I may have succeed bricking a 9266-8i. Originally I tried to crossflash the controller to IT. It appears that's not possible with the 2208 c1 revision. OK. I lost the SBR along the...
