crossflash

A lot of S4810-ON models have flooded ebay lately, these were designed to support ONIE and boot into cumulus or other whitebox NOS distros. As these are a pain in the ass to get images of (and moreso license), it would be nice if they could just run Dell's own full featured FTOS like it's sister...

Hello everyone! I recently acquired a Fujitsu PRAID CP400i at a very attractive price, but I quickly realized that crossflashing it can be a challenging process. The original instructions that were available have disappeared from this forum. Side note : If anyone has information on why this...

Hello, I've obtained recently two working HP SmartArray P400 from some decomissioned servers with the 512MB cache. I want to use one of them to build a file server where to store the video camera recordings of several cameras of my shop and then stream it to my phone. I've been using a...

Purpose: A proper MODERN tutorial on updating the firmware on the IBM M1015 on a UEFI system, in my case my IBM M1015's were already crossflashed to LSI 8211-8i long ago with the older P16 firmware which I wanted to update to the latest firmware. It is the same process either way. This tutorial...
