Hello everybody, I recently installed LSI 9217-8i in my dl380e system and placed two identical WD drives in the enclosure. I want to try out software raid on that HBA card but I can't seems to have an option to create raid becouse all the drives show up as ----- when in raid creation menu. All I...

Hi all Firstly, this is possibly a motherboard problem so it might belong in the mobo forum; but my symptoms relate only to disks and HBAs, so I hope it's OK being here. I have a Tyan S7012 motherboard, LGA1366 chipset. This motherboard has 4 x PCI-E 2.0 x8 slots and 1 x PCI-E 1.1 x4 slot...

Hi all I'm thinking of adding at least one SAS expander to my setup, as I am currently using 4 x LSI cards - and therefore 4 x PCI-E 2.0 slots - to run 28 x 2TB SATA3 drives. I know that I can put more drives on fewer cards without losing performance, but as I have a low-profile case I can't...

Hi all I'm hoping to get a high-performance PCI-E SSD to add to my home Solaris 11.3 file server/NAS. Specifically, a 1.2TB LSI Nytro Warp drive. (Forum thread here.) This device is an LSI 2308 with 6 x 200GB SSDs, which by default are configured as a hardware RAID-0. But I believe it is...

Hey all I'm doing a major upgrade on my home fileserver, and have finally upgraded from using cheap Marvell cards and mobo ports to having enough LSI ports for all my HDDs (a total of 28 ports available for 26 drives + boot SSD.) In total I have four LSI cards - 1 x 9211-4i (SAS2004), 2 x...

Here's my question in a nutshell: what are the benefits, if any, in upgrading SAS2008 cards to SAS2308 cards, besides offering PCIE 3.0 bandwidth and being capable of handling more devices (1024 vs 512)? If you had a server that only supported PCIE 2.0, containing several SAS2008 cards running...

Hey all I got my first LSI SAS HBA this week (LSI SAS 2008) and now want to get a second for my home file server running Solaris 11.3. I've found a good deal on a used LSI 9217-8i with the SAS 2308 chipset. It's priced the same as an OEM 9211-8i/SAS2008 but it's in the UK so I can get it...

Bought way too much gear for my home lab and in the process of inventorying all the excess HW and will be updating this thread. I've not done international shipping before and not familiar with the process. So, I'd prefer to limit it to CONUS but open to the idea of outside US. Prefer PayPal...

The SuperMicro X10SDV-7TP4F ships with an onboard LSI-2116. I've never worked with an HBA or a DAS before, so I'm may be doing this wrong, but here's what I want to do: Hook up the 4 internal SFF-8643 ports to this Quad External MINI SAS HD SFF-8644 to Internal MINI SAS HD SFF-8643 12G...

Happy 2017! I’m with The IT Mart. Our first post on the Intel 2U servers has been very well received, so I’m back with another special. (Here’s the Intel server if you’re interested). We just got a bunch of H220 controllers. These are HP branded 9205-8i LSI cards, SAS 2308. STH forum members...

JUMP TO ANSWER Fujitsu 9211-8i D2607 LSISAS2008 wont flash to anything Hi Guys, I've been trying for days now to flash my new Fujitsu 9211-8i D2607 LSISAS2008 to LSI IT mode. I've tried loads of guides, sas2flash versions, firmwares, with and without the BIOS. Keeps failing on this (see...

(Crossposted to FreeNAS forums) I have a server with an LSI 9211-IT HBA, Intel 910 SSD, and Chelsio NIC. I was updating the HBA firmware. As usual I checked no other RAID/HBA/LSI cards in the machine, so I flashed the HBA. It now turns out that the Intel 910 uses the same chip internally -...

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...

Hey all, I have a Supermicro X11SAE-M and an IBM H1110 (SAS2004, sort of like a LSI 9211-4i but with an x4 form factor) with a Skylake Xeon E3 v5 CPU. The H1110 works in the x16 slot, but is not recognised in the x4 slot (according to Linux lspci). It shows up in the LSI BIOS control center in...

Hey! I have managed to flash it in esxi via sas2flash to the newest firmware when I tried using the raid functionality. Now I try to flash it with IT firmware so it is ready for use with freenas when I got my 2 new esxi nodes built. Has anyone been able to do sas2flash -o -e 6 in esxcli...
